I was responding to the entire thread that was headed in the direction of saying that just because a language doe not have a trusted PL version, it should be removed. As others have said, I find myself using PL/pgSQL when I need trusted, and frequently use other languages when I need untrusted. And in most of my experience, I don't even care if the language is trusted or untrusted. There are plenty of use cases for both. Joe
