Re: Given 02-01-2006 to 02-28-2006, output all days.

I was able to find a suitable 7.3.2 plpgsql.so and now plpgsql works.
(supposedly)

I am trying out some really basic function creation such as this:

create function dng2(start_date DATE) returns setof date as $$
declare
aa date:=start_date;

But I always get this
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "DATE" at character 33
before I can even finish.

Any idea why this happens?
