Hello
Statement CONTINUE isn't in PL/SQL too, I know it, but Oracle PL/SQL
has statement GOTO. I don't need GOTO statement, but 'continue' can be
very usefull for me. I have to do some ugly trick now. With little change,
we can enhance stmt EXIT for behavior continue.
After some work I can

I find that really ugly and confusing. If we add a CONTINUE it's only
sensible to allow it inside a loop --- otherwise it's just a nonstandard
spelling of EXIT.

Well, yes,
As a near-daily PL/pgSQL developer, I similarly agree.

Well, yes, but I don't think we should break compatibility
arbitrarilly. I guess it could be argued that this is a missing feature
in PL/SQL and its Ada parent - implementing GOTO just to handle this
case seems unnecessary.
Yes. I din't use goto 5 years :-). Continue stmt is more
