Waited for that so long - thanks. I'll take a look at it and
run my tests asap.

Until later, Jan

Looks O.K. - tests passed through.

Now anything is prepared for PL support in all places
(aggregates, operators, etc.). At least PL/Tcl ran in all
that areas.

Found a little bug in interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c during
tests. In line 403 conn->pgpass is set to DefaultPassword and
later in line 665 this might be free()'d. Just wrapping a
strdup() around DefaultPassword fixed it.

Did anybody worked on other languages for PL modules since
this new interface was designed? Who would like to dive into
(perl/phyton/...)? Who would like to co-work on a pure
PL/pgSQL?

Until later, Jan
