Yep, that sounds like MySQL. In Postgres, it is:

template1=# select 955 - 200 as t;
 t
-----
755
(1 row)

Rather a bad example. Just the same syntax in mysql - and not a latest
and greatest version of mysql either.

mysql> select 955 - 200 as t;
+-----+
| t   |
+-----+
| 755 |
+-----+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

        srs (cute formatting and ascii art boxes for free!)
psql could do something like that with \pset border

The advantage with MySQL appears to be its speed and popularity, but almost on every other count, say, for doing complex date and time calculations or geometric functions, Postgres is much better. Anyway, both are free and we could celebrate that.
