don't assignments have to be pascal-style, with a colon?

    var := expression + some / value ;

and then, doesn't the rhs (right-hand side) have to return a
value? i don't think insert does return anything pertinent
(except in psql where you can see the oid and the 'record count'
[or is it more like an 'activity count'?]).  <== do i get a prize
for the most-consecutive punctuation within an english-text
paragraph? :)
