In my development, I use :variable for paramters. I come from the Oracle world. This @ thing causes me 2 issues. First, it stops my query from working with copy/paste once I debug it. Second, when I copy a query from the web, or my app, and try to paste it in, I have to edit it.

It would be nice if EITHER:
1) The : worked as a bind variable (even if I had to turn on a flag)
2) The : REPLACED The @ if that makes it easier for you to do...
