function

Hi

I have written a pgsql function along the lines of what's shown below. How can I get rid of the $1, $2, etc. and replace them with the real argument names to make the function code more readable?

Regards

Peter

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION InsertUser (
    UserID UUID,
    FirstName CHAR(10),
    Surname VARCHAR(75),
    Email VARCHAR(75)
)
RETURNS void
AS
$$
INSERT INTO "User" (userid,firstname,surname,email)
VALUES ($1,$2,$3,$4)
$$
LANGUAGE SQL;
