Re: [HACKERS] Proposal: USING clause for DO statement

[Petr Jelinek]

I don't see point in having parameters for DO as an utility command. If 
you need to reuse some value you can define those variables at the 
beginning of code block in the language itself (in DECLARE section in 
plpgsql for example), defining them in outer SQL command does not really 
help anything. Now, if/when we add support to put DO inside standard sql 
query, it would be vastly more useful to be able to use parameters. But 
adding that support will be probably least of our problems if we try to 
do that, and we might even want to use different syntax/behavior then, 
so I would really not rush with this.
