How to use a SQL for loop to insert rows into database?

Question

I\'m using Postgres, and I have a large number of rows that need to be inserted into the database, that differ only in terms of an integer that is incremented. Forgive what

In SQL Server you can do:

DECLARE @i int
SET @i = 1

WHILE @i<1000000
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO articles
        VALUES @i
        SET @i=@i+1
    END
