Vlad,

V> param_name = expression [, param_name = expression]

Have you thought about

expression as param_name [, expression as param_name]

It looks consistent with the rest of the language, to me.

I thought that a good idea would be to have a look at how SQL2003 defines named
parameters in calls, but from a quick glance it seems it doesn't
support them. :-(
