I use both SQLite3 and PostgreSQL. One thing that would be really useful
for me in SQLite3 which is in PostgreSQL is the INTO phrase. The PostgreSQL
documentation this is here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/sql-selectinto.html

The main reason that I could use this would be in conjunction with the WITH
clause. A minor example would be:

WITH RECURSIVE generate AS
   ( SELECT 1 AS seqno UNION ALL SELECT seqno+1 FROM generate WHERE
seqno<??limit??)
SELECT seqno FROM generate INTO table_of_intergers ORDER BY seqno;

This could also solve the "problem" that another person had, wanting a
sorted sequence of random numbers:

WITH RECURSIVE generate AS
   ( SELECT 1 AS seqno UNION ALL SELECT seqno+1 FROM generate WHERE
seqno<<??number of random number??>),
   random_number_generator
   ( SELECT RANDOM() AS random_number FROM generate)
SELECT random_number FROM random_number_generator ORDER BY random_number;
