I thought you would say that.  :-)  I don't see how this detail makes
sense in the sections related to the syntax usage, so I looked in the
section Porting from Oracle PL/SQL, and I don't see how it fits there

just notice - sorry for my English

==Assign==
Using ":=" is preffered as assign statement due conformity with ADA language (a plpgsql ancestor).


==GET DIAGNOSTICS==

Using "=" is highly preferred due conformity with ANSI/SQL
