[GENERAL] Converting stored procedures from SQL Anywhere to PostGres.
I am trying to convert stored procedures from SQL Anywhere to Postgres. I am getting error ERROR: syntax error at or near return LINE 2: return integer AS ^ ** Error ** ERROR: syntax error at or near return SQL state: 42601 Character: 81 when I run this. I'm not sure what the problem is here. Any help would be appreciated.

You're going to have to convert them all and to do that you're going to have a decent understanding of both languages. I doubt there are any automatic tools to do it. start here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql.html merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
