I paste the script I have created:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_version() RETURNS void
AS '
DECLARE  v_version VARCHAR;

BEGIN  SELECT version INTO v_version FROM agenda_version WHERE id = 1;
  IF v_version <> ''1.0.0.0'' THEN    RAISE EXCEPTION ''This script needs Agenda version 1.0.0.0, 
detected version %'', v_version;  END IF;

END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

SELECT check_version();

UPDATE agenda_version set version = '1.0.0.1' where id = 1;
