Another note: PLs that are not in the core distribution are not created with createlang in the first place, so the issues that led up to this proposal don't apply AFAICT, that is: - "pg_dump dumps them at a pretty low semantic level" --> pg_dump dumps them at exactly the level they were created at. - "problem with adding a validator" --> An update of PostgreSQL does not change the properties of external modules - "issues with hardwired paths to the shared libraries" --> This is an issue with all loadable modules and needs a more general solution. Basically, on a major version upgrade, we need to make the user recompile all shared libraries. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
