The pgindent issue isn't at all surprising. If we wanted to fix it the way would be to get the perl script to rewrite it with something indent would accept (e.g. move the block outside the parentheses) and then undo that after the indent had run. But the block inside parentheses feels kinda funny, doesn't it? cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan https://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
