I'm not a DB person (they write stored procedures for me;) but while
doing a small web-based project I noticed that UPDATE in Postgres
doesn't support subquery in the WHERE clause. It's just an observation
since I don't know if SQL92 and SQL3 (I think), the standards Postgres
claims to implement, require it. On the other hand Oracle does easily.

I don't know what my point it because I hate Oracle so much (I love it
going crazy during the load tests :)
