BEGIN should follow the variable declarations. See "Structure of
PL/pgSQL" in the documentation:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-structure.html

The function also has other MySQLisms such as auto_increment and the
use of "set". See the PL/pgSQL and other PostgreSQL documentation
for the appropriate syntax.
