Two questions about stored procedures
Hello,
I've two questions about stored procedures :
First of all, I've more or less 200 procedures and I wish to store
theses procedures inside packages (like Oracle PL/SQL packages). I see
that feature is in the TODO list, but is this feature is currently under
development or not ? Or is this feature is planned for a precise release
? (maybe 7.4 ???).
Second question : Once I've put a stored procedure, is the procedure is
recompiled every time before the execution or is the stored procedure
compiled one time when being recorded ? Please note that I dont make use
of NOW() in theses stored procedure.
Thanks in advance for all the time you spend in the development of this
really good DBMS ! :-)

No one is working on it and there is no schedule for completion. Patch? :-)

PL/pgSQL is compiled the first time it is run in the session. You can
use EXECUTE if you need a query to be reparsed every time, but now() is
automatically handled properly.
