I really do not see the point of PERFORM in the current implementation of PL/pgSQL. If we were to allow SELECT to run when it is not returning a value or selecting into a variable, it would be unambiguous, since the other two cases require: * Using RETURN (or RETURN QUERY) * The INTO clause I have come around to the position that I think Tom, Josh, and Merlin have all put forward, that PERFORM is unnecessary. Unless Jan chimes in with something the rest of us have missed, it’s starting to feel like a consensus to me, other than your objections, of course.
