Try
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/plpgsql.html
particularly
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/plpgsql-porting.html

plpgsql tries to be like Oracle's pl/sql, but that only carries as far
as the function body.  The outer CREATE FUNCTION syntax is not under
its control and is significantly different from Oracle's.
