Yes, if you're using PostgreSQL 8.0 or later.  Dollar quotes have
nothing to do with the function's language -- they're just another
way to quote a string.

This is the error you'd get if you tried to use dollar quotes in
PostgreSQL 7.4; you'd get a similar error in earlier versions.  What
version are you using?  What does "SELECT version();" show?
