[Pljava-dev] Re: PL/Java example queries don't respond

[Eric E]

Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the advice - I'll hang on to this.  Since I installed 
Postgres from binaries, and didn't build it, I'm gonna hold off on 
recompiling with debugging symbols in the interest of getting my project 
done.  Turns out I got PL/Java working on Postgres 8.0 under windows, so 
I think I'll migrate my Linux installation to 8.0 as well.  Thanks again 
for all the advice.

Cheers,

Eric
