Coming from an Oracle background, perhaps I don't see it the same
way. To merely *call* a PL/SQL procedure, I have to do something like
BEGIN
MYPROC (a, b, c)
END;
So I *could* create a pl/pgsql function and call it like that, but
since pl/pgsql procedures aren't compiled I wondered if I could do it
inline.

Thanks for this suggestion; I'll have a look at the case structure....
