Re: cannot get Debugger to install on 9.2 on Win7 x-64

Thanks for taking time to reply, Dave. I have stopped and restarted the service several times, and have opened and closed pgAdmin several times.  It's definitely a PL/pgsql function. That's all I've been writing.  language plpgsql

Does the debugger definitely work on Windows 7  64-bit version?

When I look at the treeview, under Extensions, there are three:

adminpack

pldbgapi

plpgsql

pldbgapi has OID 17717, the schema is public, it is relocatable, it's version 1.0, and comment says server-side support for debugging PL/pgSQL functions.

It has these dependents:

Type: breakpoint

Type: frame

Type: proxyinfo

Type: targetinfo

Type: var

and 21 functions.

I'm thinking it is a GUI issue.  What does the UI look for when determining whether to display the Debugging option on Tools menu or on the treeview context menu?

Regards

Tim

I'm sure people are getting sick of me saying this here, but it worked
for me! Some things to check:

- Did you restart pgAdmin (or at least disconnect and reconnect the
server) after creating the extension?

- The debugger only supports pl/pgsql functions on PostgreSQL. Are you
right-clicking a function written in a different language?
