If and when stored procedures are supported, there should be some way to
prevent functions called in a SELECT statement to modify the database
(create, insert, etc.).
It is confusing (and wrong IMHO) to use statements like
SELECT setval('tablename_serfield_seq',max(serfield)) FROM tablename;
(which is used to reset a sequence)
That should be done with
EXECUTE procedure(tablename_name,sequence_name);
(not sure if execute is the right keyword)
