Hi list!
We have a daemon programme that acts as a pgsql client. It writes in a
DB the status of its own clients. And we have a different daemon that
needs to read that status information and decide upon it. The problem
is that the first daemon is a little fragile and from time to time it
crashes.

Thus I have upgraded to version 8 and would like to do the following:

Just a FYI, you should also look at PG Lightning Admin (PGLA) it
compares well with EMS and has some nifty features they don't have.
i.e. EMS cannot cancel a long running query, they don't receive raise
notices (last time I checked) and they can't view unicode data.

Recompiling to add support for another procedural language is a

Would be any future support for limit in
