This is a classic case of not using SQL enough but instead trying to force an imperative programming style on a SQL database. All you want to do is update a table based on a condition, isn't it?

In that case, there is no need for procedural logic at all (and that's true for any SQL database).

UPDATE "KABIL_PRACTICE"."SALES_IF_ELSE" 
SET "DISCOUNT" = (CASE WHEN "QTY" >25 
                     THEN 2 
                     ELSE 1 
                  END) ;

This will store the computed "DISCOUNT" value in the table with no looping, in a single command.
