several problems:

a) don't put blanks in your names, neither table names nor attributes.
b) PostgreSQL doesn't have NUMBER. Use integer instead.
c) PostgreSQL doesn't have VARCHAR2. User text instead.

So, the correct statement would be:

create table a (
    b date,
    c integer,
    d text,
    e text
);

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Paul
