-   The SQL standard does not specify parameter defaults.  The syntax
-   with the <literal>DEFAULT</literal> key word is from Oracle, and it
-   is somewhat in the spirit of the standard: SQL/PSM uses it for
-   variable default values.  The syntax with <literal>=</literal> is
-   used in T-SQL and Firebird.
