I couldn't disagree more.

If we were to implement anything, it'd be PL/PSM
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL/PSM). I'm sure it's as bizarre and
quirky as anything else the SQL committee has brought forth, but it's at
least a standard(ish) language.
    So we'd choose a bizarre and quirky language instead of anything better just because it's standard. I'm sure current and prospective users will surely prefer a bizarre and quirky language that is standard approved, rather than a modern, comfortable, easy-to-use, that is not embodied by the ISO. No doubt ^_^


SQL/PSM is used in >>>DB2<<<, >>>Sybase Anywhere<<<, MySQL,

    That's a way better argument that it's standard :)))

    Still, I think postgres is in the position of attracting more Oracle than DB2+Sybase+MySQL users
