Works for me:
regression=# create procedure do_db_maintenance() as 'begin end' language plpgsql;
CREATE PROCEDURE
regression=# DROP PROCEDURE do_db_maintenance();
DROP PROCEDURE
This depends, of course, on how you declared the procedure (with
or without any parameters).
If we wrote the example without parens, that would just move the
set of failure conditions around, so I'm unconvinced that it'd
be an improvement.
