Should have added to previous post that this can be done using an
anonymous function:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/sql-do.html

The caveat being anonymous functions cannot return anything. Still
something like the below:

DO
$$
DECLARE
var_1 integer;
BEGIN
SELECT INTO var_1 sum(cell_per) FROM cell_per;
RAISE NOTICE 'Sum is %', var_1;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

NOTICE: Sum is 193
