Yes you can do that in PostgreSQL, but you then lose all and every syllable of documentation you have put in the sql source code file. I may be a traditionalist, but I recon that if you are trying to build a project or product which has a life, rather than a quick fix for some immediate problem, then it's essential to have source code that's understandable and usable by other people.
