Sadly, we don't have standards-conformant SQL/PSM. Right now, we have a
lot of different languages for functions, none of them mandated by SQL,
and there is no reason to create a syntax exception for any of them.
I am sure that when we get SQL/PSM support, the interest in getting
standards-conformant procedure creation statements is going to get a lot
higher.
PL/pgSQL is not SQL/PSM.
Anyway Posgres offers a CREATE FUNCTION statement that resembles or should
resemble that in the standard, and that is what I am talking about. I just want the
Postgres version of the statement to look more like the standard one.
Would you detail the differences you talk about that you see here ?
Thank you,
