Dave,
I don't understand your last sentence. Are you still thinking that PGXN
client is vaporware or WIP ?
Personnaly, I think PGXN will be available for production server after
some beta tests. Just like SQL/MED and SE-postgres. I don't see why you
are being so harsh on PGXN. Frankly i don't understand your point.
While we're encouraging people to test the 9.1beta1 why not pointing
them the PGXN project, as it needs beta testers too ? In fact when
you're testing PGXN, you're also testing PostgreSQL Extensions, right ?
;-)
