O.k. hold on guys. I really don't care what you do with plpgsql. I
don't use it unless I absolutely have to anyway. All I was doing was
saying that:

A. I could give flying donkey butt about being the Oracle-Compatible
community.

B. That "SWITCH" may be an alternate syntax because 15 years ago when I
took a CS class and I did one chapter of C they had a SWITCH statement
that resembles CASE.

Please continue on.
