Title:         plpgsql not  included in default instalation of PostgreSQL server
Ticket ID:     #751
Ticket URL:    http://bugs.pld-linux.org/?bug=751
Package:       postgresql-3:7.2.4-1
Distribution:  PLD-1.0.updates.security
Category:      doesn't work as it should
Current state: opened
Text:

PL/pgSQL is without any important reason not included in default postgresql server package - instead it is in
postgresql-module-plpgsql.
This language is build with postgres by default and is not dependant on any other external  language - every postgres instalation expect it to be availible and ready to be CREATEd. Moving it to a separate package is almost like forcing user to separately install PL/SQL in Oracle. 

As it is 'native' procedural extension, it may lead to potential problems in future with elements of Postgres itself being implemented in PL/pgSQL.
