Most folks that use Oracle's PL/SQL like it. I have a sneaking suspicion
Oracle used the GNAT parser for Ada as a starting point, but that is pure
conjecture. Oracle does document that PL/SQL is Ada with SQL extensions.
An enterprising individual could get the source for GNAT from AdaCore (it's
GPL'd) and create a workalike language for PostgreSQL. I'm not
enterprising.
