Looping in postgres goes differently, at least, it does in version 8. I
use loops like this (there are more ways, but I think what you're doing
is wrong):
FOR row IN (query) LOOP
END LOOP;
Where "row" is a variable of type RECORD. I'm not sure how this works
with CURSOR, or if postgres 7.4 has different loop constructs, but you
might want to look into that, in the documentation. It has a section on
loops for plpgsql.
