Also have a look at: http://python.projects.postgresql.org/ it needs some more love too but has high potential. Maybe it can become next generation pl/pythonu? Would be nice. And with even more love the restricted python from zope could be ported so there could be a pl/python again :-) Ok, just haluzinating ;) Tino ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
