NZPLSQL statements and grammar

This section describes the NZPLSQL language, its structure, and how to use the language to create stored procedures.

NZPLSQL is similar to the Postgres PL/pgSQL language. Some of the language descriptions in this section use the Postgres PL/pgSQL documentation. However, NZPLSQL has some differences that are based on the design and environment of the IBM® Netezza® system. NZPLSQL also includes some extensions to assist users who migrate stored procedures that are written in other languages to the Netezza environment.
