Not in PostgreSQL. Here's a sample of something similar to what you were doing.
CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TABLE carga ( id NUMERIC, desc_txt TEXT, PRIMARY KEY (id));
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION for_loop_func (num_iter INTEGER)
RETURNS void AS
$$
DECLARE iter NUMERIC; tmp_num NUMERIC;
BEGIN FOR iter IN 1 .. num_iter LOOP -- some computations tmp_num = iter * 2;
INSERT INTO carga (id, desc_txt) VALUES (tmp_num, 'My Text for ' || iter || '*2 = '
||tmp_num); END LOOP; RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
--SELECT for_loop_func(1000000);
SELECT for_loop_func(10);
