I'm not sure what you are talking about. FETCH with INTO does not comply
to which standard? SQL3 for instance says:
<fetch statement> ::= FETCH [ [ <fetch orientation> ] FROM ] <cursor name> INTO <fetch target list>
If I omit the INTO how shall it know the variables?

Yes, I am. Please send it to me directly at meskes@postgresql.org.

It seems you mail got delayed as it just arrived in my mailbox. But I
take it this is the patch you already send me a few days ago (after all
this mail I'm replying to was written March 7th). So it should be in CVS
already.
