I would never have created the plperlNG project on pgfoundry if I had thought it meant divorcing plperl from the core. pgfoundry in my mind can be a home for projects that will eventually fold into the core, as well as things that will always remain separate. I agree with Bruce about the place of server-side PLs. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
