I've tried that of course, but "perform 1 ..." fails with 8.4.9:
# select 1 from pref_users
where id='DE1' and
vip is not NULL and
vip > current_timestamp + interval '1 week';
?column?
----------
1
(1 row)
# perform 1 from pref_users
where id='DE1' and
vip is not NULL and
vip > current_timestamp + interval '1 week';
ERROR: syntax error at or near "perform"
LINE 1: perform 1 from pref_users
^
And also - does PERFORM works with FOUND?
Thank you
Alex
