Yeah, this would be pretty the same.

I just didn't understand if this is already implemented in PG ?

I've tried to create a PROCEDURE in QueryTool of pgAdminIII and I get
following result:

ERROR: syntax error at or near "PROCEDURE"
LINE 1: CREATE PROCEDURE aatestubnd(refcursor, insklid integer, inda...
^

********** Error **********

ERROR: syntax error at or near "PROCEDURE"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 8

If I try with CREATE FUNCTION I get this result (as expected):

ERROR: function result type must be specified

********** Error **********

ERROR: function result type must be specified
SQL state: 42P13

Is this because of QueryTool's limitations or is this feature not yet
implemented in Postgre ?

Though, CREATE PROCEDURE should be a valid SQL 92 standard procedure.
