indeed something i could use as reference

i'm actually looking for a way to compare two sql statement,
and to check if they are equivalent (not only semantically,
since this usually makes a difference in execution plan).

i suppose the postgresql internal must have some sort of functions
handling this, while parsing the statement.
i would be handy to have this function available as a db user.

tnx,
Wim
