How does this match the SQL2003 spec?



I don't know. What I can read about it, it's only PL/SQL feature and maybe reason for PL/pgSQL.
I like and need

        a) hash arrays
        b) iteration over all items of array

All I can use well in my codes.


Well, plperl and pltcl will buy you these (not to mention plruby and even pljavascript when I get around to creating it)

That's not to say that we should not build them into plpgsql, but to suggest that there might be reasonable alternatives.

cheers
