Please don't post links to potentially copyrighted works.

We don't want things just because Oracle has them, we want them for a
real reason. If say, you had a migration project that would be made
easier by that feature, or there was clear benefit in improving the
language through the addition of a feature, maybe. If not, we must try
to do something better than everybody else, not just the same, unless
its an official standard.

I'd be interested in hearing about how SQL/PSM is going. What are your
plans for that?
