I'm guessing that there is no step-wise debugger for pgsql. If there is, then glory be and call me a dummy for not R'ing TFM. In fact, I've never heard of a step-wise debugger for any DB server, am I wrong?

As I grovel through some plPerl code in a statement level trigger that depends on an array of variables, I wonder if the lack of such a debugger can be considered one of the biggest impediments to larger adoption of server-side code. I don't mean to be facetious here, how many serious and powerful programmers do you know who don't depend heavily on a good debugger to step through the code and find the nasty parts? Anyway, just a thought.
