And usage of cursors in PL/pgSQL is based on PL/SQL (not on SQL/PSM from standard), but named arguments for cursor is PostgreSQL proprietary feature and the syntax based on usage `:=` is our proprietary too. This is from patch https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/4adead1d224278ff3064636063a818eba17cb211 It is from the window, when the named arguments was supported already https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20091008023926.1be85753...@cvs.postgresql.org (the syntax was changed before release) but not with ANSI syntax https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/865f14a2d31af23a05bbf2df04c274629c5d5c4d I forgot to fix this in my patch for 9.5 - probably I missed this functionality Regards Pavel > > regards, tom lane >
