In named notation, each argument's name is specified using
- <literal>:=</literal> to separate it from the argument expression.
+ <literal>=></literal> to separate it from the argument expression.
For example:
<screen>
-SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a := 'Hello', b := 'World');
+SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a => 'Hello', b => 'World');
concat_lower_or_upper
-----------------------
hello world
using named notation is that the arguments may be specified in any
order, for example:
<screen>
-SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a := 'Hello', b := 'World', uppercase := true);
+SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a => 'Hello', b => 'World', uppercase => true);
concat_lower_or_upper
-----------------------
HELLO WORLD
(1 row)
-SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a := 'Hello', uppercase := true, b := 'World');
+SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a => 'Hello', uppercase => true, b => 'World');
+ concat_lower_or_upper
+-----------------------
+ HELLO WORLD
+(1 row)

+ An older syntax based on ":=" is supported for backward compatibility:
+<screen>
+ SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a := 'Hello', uppercase := true, b := 'World');
concat_lower_or_upper
-----------------------
HELLO WORLD
already mentioned, named arguments cannot precede positional arguments.
For example:
<screen>
-SELECT concat_lower_or_upper('Hello', 'World', uppercase := true);
+SELECT concat_lower_or_upper('Hello', 'World', uppercase => true);
concat_lower_or_upper
-----------------------
HELLO WORLD

<screen>
-SELECT mleast(VARIADIC arr := ARRAY[10, -1, 5, 4.4]);
+SELECT mleast(VARIADIC arr => ARRAY[10, -1, 5, 4.4]);
</screen>
but not these:
<screen>
-SELECT mleast(arr := 10);
-SELECT mleast(arr := ARRAY[10, -1, 5, 4.4]);
+SELECT mleast(arr => 10);
+SELECT mleast(arr => ARRAY[10, -1, 5, 4.4]);
</screen>
