hi, Vadim,
(sorry, Vadim, I used "reply" to "vadim@krs.ru", but I mean
pgsql-general@postgreSQL.org )
I use postgresql as the backend of a website using cgi(in perl/DBI).
so,

A) I can not be happy ;-(

B) what does that mean for perl? or just limited to PL/pgSQL--
then, isn't BEGIN/END the common syntax in PL/pgSQL?
C) can you give me an outline of PL/pgSQL for 2. and 3. ?

D) I'm not sure yet ALL those can be handled by PS/pgSQL within the
postgresql? I do not need to handle all of them in perl through
dbi? If I do, how? and, can I just disable the concurrent
multiversion in V6.5?
Thanks!!!
Kai
