Dear Members,
I am switching our ERP and other under development applications from MySQL to PostgreSQL. While working on this, I got some problems while creating store procedures. As PG does not support procedures, rather it uses Functions. While creating a function from MySQL as

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `postdoc`(vardocid int)
    MODIFIES SQL DATA
UPDATE docs        SET posted = -1        WHERE docid = vardocid;

on PG, it gave me error for using variable in where condition. Other things are properly defined thru' PGAdmin. Does PG do no support to use variables or variable names in the functions? As per manual for 8.3, I understood to use $1, $2...$n for the input parameter reference, but it is difficult to mark them correclty in a big function having many parameters.
How could I use varibles in the functions?
Plesae help and give the details on above issue.

Thanks

CPK
