I added it to the Oracle section because I found this syntax while porting an
Oracle stored proc to a pl/pgSQL function, and assumed it was an Oracle-ism.
Do other RDBMSs also allow you to qualify function_name.param_name to
distinguish a param from a column of the same name? If so, sure, I'll put it
somewhere more general (suggestions?), and Tom, I think that would lend
weight to allowing PostgreSQL to do it too (not because it's The Right Thing,
but for interoperability and ease of porting). Thoughts?
Regards, Philip.
