can be. but people on IRC are not representative. I have about 10 courses of PL/pgSQL per year (about 100 people) - almost all my students newer visited IRC. 30% of my students has a problem to write a bublesort or some little bit complex code. I meet this people. There can be a language barrier or some laziness. Really it is surprisingly how too less people are interesting about coding. This people has own problems, and usually uses a most classic patter that know from programming languages. These peoples are "normal" and typical. Some courses I have under some big Czech agency - so there are people from banks, industry. Actually only I do a courses of PLpgSQL in Czech language - so I think I know what people use. For example - only a few people know and use a generate_series functions. sorry for offtopic :) Pavel > > cheers > > andrew > -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
