I do think it's in the docs, but I'm not prepared to bet on it. :) It
is a rather inobvious thing though.

No, there is no single statement. But there is pl/pgsql. If you search
the archives there are examples of some fairly simple pl/pgsql scripts
that do just that. There might be provisions for such a built in in
8.2, due out soon. I haven't kept up on new pgsql development since
taking a rather busy job working on 7.4 machines. I'm really hoping to
get an 8.1/8.2 server up and running for work here as a data warehouse
though...
