Hy all of you,

1 - Is there a way to have conditions for committing transactions like in
oracle :
http://www.scribd.com/doc/42831667/47/Validation-conditionnelle-de-transaction-62

2 - Is there a way to declare local variables for a SQL statement without
beiing in a function?
PostgreSQL follows the SQL standard which does not allow anything like that.

Later versions do allow anonymous blocks, also known as DO statements
that allow you to execute some code to allow decision making like
that. So the Oracle example is very similar code in PostgreSQL, except
that you can't issue ROLLBACK and COMMIT.
Thanks, Could you precise the sentence bellow
 But then you don't need to
because you can do a conditional error or drop through to a commit.
How do you do that?

Regards
