Note: All languages are allowed to use parameter names in the function parameter list declaration. The Named Parameters column indicates if the body of the function can refer to the parameters by those names, or whether it has to use a notation such as $1, $2, etc.
Note: All languages support parameters that are explicitly marked as IN parameters. Unless otherwise specified, languages that support OUT parameters also support INOUT parameters.
