Re: updategram in pg

No, but you should be able to build something similar using a
language that understands XML. You could then pass something like
this to the database:

SELECT updategram.update('big-ole XML string');

If you wanted to get even more fancy, you could create a daemon that
would accept connections as if it was a postmaster and handle in-line
XML requests however MS does.

If you decide to go this route please consider starting a project on
pgFoundry, as I'm sure others would find this useful.
