title: pgAdmin Create Variable
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple variable in pgAdmin (PostgreSQL) but it is not working. Can someone help me out please? I am probably just doing something dumb.</p>
  
  <pre><code>DECLARE @Variable;
  ...error
  ERROR:  syntax error at or near "@"
  LINE 88:  DECLARE @Variable;
                    ^
  
  DECLARE @Variable text;
  ...error
  ERROR:  syntax error at or near "@"
  LINE 88:  DECLARE @Variable text;
                    ^
  
  DECLARE Variable;
  ...error
  ERROR:  syntax error at or near ";"
  LINE 88:  DECLARE Variable;
                            ^
  </code></pre>
