I found that pg_dump tests for pg_language.lanispl == true, which is true for all the stored procedure languages. I can easily special case plpgsql, or check for FirstNormalObjectId, though I don't see that used in pg_dump currently. A more difficult issue is whether we should preserve the fact that plpgsql was _removed_ in the pg_dump output, i.e, if someone removes plpgsql from a database, do we issue a DROP LANGUAGE in pg_dump? I don't remember us having to deal with anything like this before. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
