Um ... design sanity and consistency, maybe? Not that I think PL/SQL is any paragon of those virtues, but surely "we'll invent any feature we feel like whether it's sane or not" is not a recipe for a maintainable language. (No, I'm not particularly in favor of the BY feature mentioned upthread, either.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
