Hilariously, I'm not so sure that's what the OP wanted. Several of us 
pointed him to EnterpriseDB and their Oracle-style syntax, and the only 
thing he said about that was to use it as further evidence that 
PostgreSQL should implement them. I'm very tempted to say he wanted 
something for free, and was angry he couldn't get it.
