Hallo PostgreSQL Hackers,
We recently discovered an error where pgAdmin fails when stepping into
nested function calls (
https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues/8443 ).
So while waiting for this to be fixed I would want to know if there
are other debugger front-ends that could be used to do basic debugging
of pl/pgsql code ?
And would these need a separate debugging extension, or is "debugging"
meant to be a generic PostgreSQL server feature that has a
well-defined API ?
I know there used to be another debugger as part of OmniDB which had
its own server-side extension as well, but wanted to know what is the
general thinking on this.
Is debugging pl/pgsq a generic feature of PostgreSQL core considering
that pl/pgsql itself kind of is ?
Should there be something similar for debugging plain SQL and possibly
other PL languages?
Should there perhaps be debugging support in psql ?
