# 42.5. Anonymous Code Blocks

PL/Python also supports anonymous code blocks called with the DO statement:

    DO $$
        # PL/Python code
    $$ LANGUAGE plpythonu;

An anonymous code block receives no arguments, and whatever value it might return is discarded. Otherwise it behaves just like a function.
