I think a number of people would be interested in this. However, your biggest development issue, as I've been told, is that the Pl/pgSQL parser isn't nearly as mature as the SQL parser. So an overhaul of the PL/pgSQL backend code would need to precede any merger of the two parsers. Also, take a look at the "pl/pgsql enabled by default" thread on this mailing list for security concerns. These security concerns would be much more significant if plpgsql were automatically available on the command line. As such, you'd need to make building it in to the SQL command line a compile-time option so that security-conscious admins could disable it if they want to. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
