Well, you can implement it. After all, the CALL syntax is merely
syntactic sugar. You could (if you wanted to) do the following:
CREATE FUNCTION foo( a TEXT IN, b TEXT INOUT, c TEXT OUT ) as blah...
And in a pl/pgsql function, translate: "CALL foo(a,b,c)"
into "(b,c) = foo(a,b)" internally.
Doesn't seem like that would be too hard.
Have anice day,
