You're right for my databases. For that matter, better support for
rowtype is on the laundry list of PL/SQL compatibility issues.
However, we also want to support users who are porting their PL/SQL
applications, which may not be easily translated into %rowtype
paramters. As I've said before, all this requires is a good
compile-time option; increasing the default is unnecessary.
What do you (personally) think about trying to get RH involved in
expanding PL/pgSQL's capabilites as a way fo targeting Oracle's users
for RHDB?
