months ago I�ve submitted a bug (#4953). Is there a way to know its
status and if it will be fixed?

[ looks up 4953... ] Oh, the contrib/xml2 memory management mess :-(.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a fix for that. That code is on its
way out anyway, and so nobody seems to be willing to put in the amount
of effort that would be needed to fix it. I'd recommend migrating to
the core XML support instead.

Ok, sorry for the silly question but is the xml core support
comparable to contrib/xml2? Is it already there in 8.4 or is scheduled
for 8.5?

Thank you in advance!

It is in 8.4 and is superior to what was supported in contrib/xml2.

It's available in 8.3 and later. The documentation can be found here:

I don’t see the xslt_process function. Should I process xml outside
PostgreSQL? Not a big problem but I chose contrib/xml2 for xslt
processing, too.

Thank you
