I agree with David here. We care about the ability to migrate PL/SQL --> PL/pgSQL. We do *not* care about the ability to migrate PL/pgSQL --> PL/SQL. So supporting extra syntax which Oracle doesn't ... as long as the Oracle syntax still works ... is in fact a good thing. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
