I tried this on the pgsql-announce list but for some reason it doesn't show up. The 1.0.0.b4 release of PL/Java is out. It takes full advantage of the new exception handling and custom variables introduced in PostgreSQL 8.0 and a native Windows port is included in the distribution (7.4 still supported with Cygwin on Windows). On Linux, PL/Java 1.0.0.b4 includes binary distributions compiled using GCJ (the GNU Java) to take full advantage of Postgres capability of using preloaded modules. Please visit http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava for more info. Regards, Thomas Hallgren
