I anticipate dependencies becoming a big deal. I already have ideas for extensions that depend on citext, for example (domains for time zone, email address, etc.). And yeah, some of those might depend on procedural languages. FWIW, I've been putting PL prereqs in META.json files on PGXN. pgTAP, for example, requires PL/pgSQL: http://master.pgxn.org/dist/pgTAP/pgTAP-0.25.0.json Best, David -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
