Hi,

I just compiled and installed postgresql.


I found a webpage that showed a few steps to test the installation but it
was for 7.0.something.

I was able to create a db but there were two things that I could not do:


mytestdb-# select current_timestamp;
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "select"

and

mytestdb=# create function test1() returns integer as 'begin return 1; end;'
language 'plpgsql';
ERROR:  Unrecognized language specified in a CREATE FUNCTION: 'plpgsql'.
        Pre-installed languages are SQL, C, and internal.
        Additional languages may be installed using 'createlang'.


Now I noticed that I could get the first working if i used all caps for
SELECT.  Is postgresql case sensitive?  is there a way to compile it so that
it is not case sensitive?  or can I not get this working because I'm using
different version?

Thanks,
-Al
