If you're like me, wondering what the heck SQL/PSM is, here is an article
on it by Joe *Celko *http://www.dbmsmag.com/9701d06.html
According to Joe, SQL/PSM is based on the Algol family of languages, which
Ada, and therefore PL/SQL is based, according to my understanding.
Oracle is not an alturistic organization, to say the least. Oracle isn't
likely to promote a standard unless there is a competitive advantage. There
are many would-be standards that never get enough popularity to catch on. If
this has been around since 1996, well . . . .
