Yes, that's what I'm testing on. It would be worth upgrading to 9.2.3
to ensure you have all the latest bug fixes though.

It's looking for a number of things (I'll omit some things that only
apply to Postgres Plus Advanced Server, if anyone is reading along in
the source code):

- You must be a superuser, or the owner of the function
- The function cannot be under the "Catalogs" node, it must be below "Schemas".
- The function language must be pl/pgsql
- The string "plugin_debugger" must appear in the output from "SHOW
shared_preload_libraries"
- The function "pldbg_get_target_info" must be listed in pg_proc
- The function "plpgsql_oid_debug" must be listed in pg_proc
