I'm using Postgresql Version 8.1.4. on fedora core 6
I'm pretty sure that pg_sleep is not implemented in 8.1.
Am not sure what is the work around

Hmmm, I'm looking at section 9.9.5 Delaying Execution in the PostgreSQL
8.2.0 Documentation. Following the example presented there, I fired up
psql and ran the following:
postgres=# select current_timestamp; select pg_sleep(3); select
current_timestamp;

Seems to be working. What version are you using and on what platform?
