Hi everybody, thanks for your answers about hardware requirements. DB design was succesful and now we are migrating stored procedures from oracle to PostgreSQL. I can't handle cursors very well in PostgreSQL, for example, i need to migrate this stored procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE LOAD_EXP  AS
 cursor c_exp IS
        select C_COD_PRE from temp_codpre;
BEGIN
  for cur1 in c_exp loop
     update lcmap_ctrcre
     set v_cod_pcar = '07'
     where c_num_exp = cur1.C_COD_PRE;
     commit;
  end loop;
end LOAD_EXP;
/

and what i did in PostgreSQL was:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION LOAD_EXP() RETURNS VOID AS $$
DECLARE
 c_exp refcursor;
BEGIN
        open c_exp for select C_COD_PRE from temp_codpre;
        loop
          FETCH c_exp INTO VARIABLE
          IF NOT FOUND THEN
                EXIT;
          END IF;
          update lcmap_ctrcre
          set v_cod_pcar = '07'
          where c_num_exp = cur1.C_COD_PRE;
         end loop;
        close c_exp;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
select LOAD_EXP()

My really big doubt is about what VARIABLE must be and if this function is efficient how is it written.
I'll appreciate any advice.
Rafael
