Yes. Send me your code as a function that runs in a.out, I will
convert it. You will get in a form suitable for use as a contrib. You
will then be on your own. I'll do it in a split-second, but give me a
day or two to respond; I am moving and can't read my mail often enough.

[SQL] joins again

[CB]

Hi,

Can someone tell me which (if any) joins are supported with 7?  It
appears the answer is 'none' but I want to make sure.  Since I think the
answer is 'none' can someone tell me how you emulate inner and outer
joins using the where clause (I need an example)?  Thanks!

Hi,
You may find examples in the section 'Joining Tables' of Bruce Momjian's
marvelous work.

I hope this helps.

[SQL] PL/pgSQL

[Antony Sakellariou]

I m using postgresql under linux suse 6.3. I have installed the language as the 
documentation indicates by creating the call handler and the language.

Trying to create a function within a database the psql interface is replying that the 
function is created.
But when I call the function ( it returns just an integer) I see the message " stat 
failed on file '/usr/lib/pgsql/lib/plpgsql.so' no such file" .  The strange is that 
the file exists.

Please give me an explanation
