My key for remembering about that point is that DO is a utility command,
not a query. Now, the proposal I pushed last time we opened that very
can of worms was to have inline functions rather than anonymous code
blocks:
WITH FUNCTION foo(integer) returns bigint language SQL AS $$ SELECT $1 + 1; $$,
Not sure how much that relates to $topic, but still something that
raises in my mind with enough presence that I need to write about it so
that it stops calling for attention :)
