Re: editors with colum positioning for debugging?

Very cool (I tried to get 8 on fedora, but think I was missing it somehow.).
I also noticed if I run in EMS (course I need to buy it)it positions me on
the error if I am in the editor not the builder.

I am a little afraid of using 8 as it is brand new, and this will be on a
production machine. I could use 8 for development and 7 for production I
guess.

PG 8.0 produces more useful output. A trivial example:

regression=# select
regression-# 1/0 as a,
regression-# 1/ as b,
regression-# 1/2 as c;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "as" at character 27
LINE 3: 1/ as b,
^
regression=#
