RE: BUG #16181: Error Creating Stored Procedures

David, 

Thanks for the quick reply. 

It is working with BEGIN and END. 

The code was generated by pgAdmin4 GUI and I somehow incorrectly assumed that GUI would include BEGIN and END statements. 

 

Thanks for your help.

PostgreSQL version: 12.1

Description:        

I tried both pgAdmin GUI and psql using a script file. In both instances i
got the same error. 

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE admin.my_test(IN role_id integer DEFAULT 0)
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'

 

Not a bug...the documentation shows how to write a pl/pgsql function/stored procedure.

 

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/plpgsql-structure.html

 

Note the "BEGIN" and "END" portions of that syntax diagram are not optional.
