I don't think CREATE PROCEDURE is actually a valid command in
Postgres. The 9.0 documentation seems to confirm that
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-commands.html).
In Postgres, "procedures" are void-returning functions - there's no
difference. It's just a naming convention.
Perhaps you're using some 3rd party code for MS-SQL compatibility? I
imagine CREATE PROCEDURE would then be a simple wrapper around CREATE
FUNCTION ... RETURNING void.
Heh, didn't know you could define DEFAULT argument values like that,
but it seems you can!
