I see, because `DO` is a statement, not an expression. Thus arguments don't
really make much sense (I wish it was an expression!).
uff. How you would to write scripts? How you would to join client side
and server side? What I know, statements in PostgreSQL are
parametrised - INSERT, SELECT and others.
They are not arbitrarily parameterized at all. Just try using a
parameter for a table name. And not all statements accept parameters.
You are making a quite false comparison here.
I don't think it's a good idea to tie SQL syntax to a feature of a client,
though.
DO should have any syntax. Other than I wrote. It isn't important in
this moment. Do without parametrsation has not full power. It is like
EXECUTE without USING clause. Sure. You can live without it, but the
live with it is much more confortable.
There is no proof at all of this. We have not even released this feature
into the field and already you are declaring it inadequate. That
declaration is at best premature.
