Do I understand correctly that you are advocating *against* using standard SQL syntax for a feature that is defined by the SQL Standard and that we have no similar implementation for? If so, I would like to stand up to it. We are known as (at least one of) the most conforming implementations and I hope we will continue to be so. I would rather we remove from rather than add to this page: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_vs_SQL_Standard -- Vik Fearing
