SQL operator '*='

Hello,

I've here a smaller problem of our porting from Sybase/Oracle/Informix
code to PostgreSQL; the code reads for the mentioned DBS:


    ...
#ifdef DBSINF
    EXEC SQL DECLARE land_cursor CURSOR FOR
        SELECT stammprio, lkz, landbez, plkz, postbez, karenz1, karenz2,
            karenz3, land.wkz, webez, we, kurs, land.del
        FROM   land, OUTER devisen
        WHERE  land.wkz = devisen.wkz AND land.brgroup = devisen.brgroup AND land.brgroup =
:brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
        ORDER  BY stammprio, landbez;
#endif

#ifdef DBSORA
    EXEC SQL DECLARE land_cursor CURSOR FOR
        SELECT stammprio, lkz, landbez, plkz, postbez, karenz1, karenz2,
            karenz3, land.wkz, webez, we, kurs, land.del
        FROM   land, devisen
        WHERE  land.wkz = devisen.wkz (+) AND land.brgroup = devisen.brgroup (+) AND land.brgroup =
:brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
        ORDER  BY stammprio, landbez;
#endif

#ifdef DBSSYB
    EXEC SQL DECLARE land_cursor CURSOR FOR 
        SELECT stammprio, lkz, landbez, plkz, postbez, karenz1, karenz2, 
            karenz3, land.wkz, webez, we, kurs, land.del
        FROM   land, devisen
        WHERE  land.wkz *= devisen.wkz AND land.brgroup *= devisen.brgroup AND land.brgroup =
:brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
        ORDER  BY stammprio, landbez;
#endif

#ifdef DBSPOS
    EXEC SQL DECLARE land_cursor CURSOR FOR 
        SELECT stammprio, lkz, landbez, plkz, postbez, karenz1, karenz2, 
            karenz3, land.wkz, webez, we, kurs, land.del
        FROM   land, devisen
        WHERE  land.wkz *= devisen.wkz AND land.brgroup *= devisen.brgroup AND land.brgroup =
:brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
        ORDER  BY stammprio, landbez;
#endif

(the code for DBSPOS was just copied from Sybase). It compiles fine but
raises on execution en error about operator '*=' is not supported...

Any ideas about how to express this correctly in PostgreSQL?

Thanks
