Thanks a lot Tom, that do solves the first part of my problem...
Has anyone an idea about the second part, that is, one the
authentification passed, this error message:
"$>createlang plpgsql theirdb
createlang: A function named 'plpgsql_call_handler' already exists.
Installation aborted." ?
Actually, here's the situation on the base (results from "select * from
pg_language")
For template1:
lanname | lanispl | lanpltrusted | lanplcallfoid |
lancompiler
----------+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------
internal | f | f |
0 | n/a
C | f | f |
0 | /bin/cc
sql | f | f |
0 | postgres

For theirdb: (the "user" db)
lanname | lanispl | lanpltrusted | lanplcallfoid |
lancompiler
----------+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------
internal | f | f |
0 | n/a
C | f | f |
0 | /bin/cc
sql | f | f |
0 | postgres

For myowndb: (the very first db i created an onto which i installed
plpgsql without any trouble)
lanname | lanispl | lanpltrusted | lanplcallfoid |
lancompiler
----------+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------
internal | f | f |
0 | n/a
C | f | f |
0 | /bin/cc
sql | f | f |
0 | postgres
plpgsql | t | t | 56992 |
PL/pgSQL

Is there any way to "reference" (inherit ?) the plpgsql language installed
for myowndb, and thus making it accessible for the other databases ?
Isn't there a inherit procedure to make any database inherit template1's
installed language ?
(I would have to drop plpgsql from myowndb and reinstall it for template1,
but there shouldn't be a problem as long as I know the right procedure)
Any idea to do this, even with very non user-friendly SQL queries ?
