Hi all,

I need more information and examples for pl/pgsql.
The examples found on the source tree of postgres are not sufficient,
because they are all alphanumerical examples. I need function examples for
numerical computations.
I tried to code the example below but it responded with error message
something like '$= operator not defined for types int4 and float8 ...'

Thanks in advance.

CREATE FUNCTION fCurr (date, int2, float8, int2) RETURNS float8  AS ' DECLARE      fcDate ALIAS FOR $1;        --

convert     toCurrID ALIAS FOR $4;      -- Convert to which currency?      BolenCarpan float8;      BolunenCarpan
