I forgot to mention that you must run 'createlang plpgsql' on the 
database for this to work, if the language named plpgsql has not already 
been created.  (This command would typically be run from a shell, such 
as sh, bash, etc., and not from within psql.)

Please review 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-createlang.html for 
more information about this command.

Cheers!
