I don't search compatibility - just searching any good syntax. And Oracle used wide used syntax - from Ada, Perl. - It isn't Oracle patent or Oracle design. And named params hasn't big sense without default params. So now is time for speaking about it. look on ADA http://archive.adaic.com/standards/83rat/html/ratl-08-03.html PL/pgSQL < PL/SQL < ADA so using '=>' is only consistent and natural. And it is my goal.
