Hmm ... while I'm certainly not someone to defend mysql on a regular
basis, I can see their point of view here. They are supporting a
limited (and clearly documented) subset of the SQL spec in this area,
so it's surely a feature request rather than a bug that they don't
support more. The disagreement seems to come down to what the priority
of the feature addition ought to be. We have a few sore spots of our
own on questions like this one, so I'm disinclined to throw the first
stone ...
regards, tom lane
