Hi All,

I am trying to build a function to insert or update data in one table from
date stored in another table. Eventually I hope to trigger this process based
on data being INSERTed into the original table. I have written the code below
based on the documentation and some help from this list. When I execute the
code I get this error.

ERROR: language "plpgsql" does not exist

What does this mean? How do I correct the error?

Kind Regards,
Keith

PS This is PostgreSQL v7.3.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3

rcrd_gl_account RECORD;

data_transfer.tbl_peachtree_gl_acount.description,

data_transfer.tbl_peachtree_gl_acount.account_type,
data_transfer.tbl_peachtree_gl_acount.inactive
FROM data_transfer.tbl_peachtree_gl_acount
ORDER BY gl_number

SELECT peachtree.tbl_gl_account.account_id
