I think they were talking about syntax like INSERT INTO t(a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3)

I agree that something like INSERT INTO t VALUES a=1, b=2, c=3

would be much more readable.



Interestingly enough, I've toyed with augmenting SQL to make it more useful.

I remember doing an experimental improvement allowing to do FROM where SELECT what syntax.

I agree there's value there. Omnigres is able to intercept query expressions to do the augmentation.
