Adding support, I guess. I got the two examples from a book and they were supposed to work in Sybase Anywhere SQL 5.0.

PS: for PostgreSQL to compile with my configuration, I had to add manualy the nan.h header somewhere in the sources, IIRC it was postgres.h or something included from (almost) everywhere, just to be sure.
