Surely this is wrong:

Equals (<literal>:=</>) can be used instead of SQL-standard
<literal>=</> for <command>GET DIAGNOSTICS</>.

I usually pronounce ":=" as "becomes". Other people read it as "is
assigned" and most refer to it by name as the "assignment operator" or
"assignment". Whatever it is it's surely not "equals".

cheers
