AFAIR, the only person who's actually stated any intention to work on this for 8.1 was me, and what I intend to do is just enough to support OUT and INOUT parameters in plpgsql. This is mostly because Red Hat wants to run some test suites that require those capabilities. There was some discussion of other ideas in the pgsql-hackers list a few weeks ago (see the archives) but I don't think anyone is stepping up to the plate to do them. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
