Thanks, are you developer or it is written somewhere in the documentation?

@Peter: Don't misunderstand me, I do not offend anybody, just want to see official information by myself. Btw, it is written "PHP programmer; SVN and PostgreSQL administrator", I am not sure if every PostgreSQL administrator knows such details.

Comment on my 1st comment: by developer I meant developer of psql, not developer in general as it may seem..

That's right, Makefile of psql shows that: psql: $(OBJS) $(libpq_builddir)/libpq.a

No, I'm not related to the PGDG (PostgreSQL Global Development Group) in any way though I'm satisfied "customer" and enthusiast. And I have built Postgres from source quite a few times.
