Personally, as a heavy user of PL/pgSQL procedures, I'm not sure you
need to increase the *default* number of parameters. Postgres just
needs to implement a parameter number change as part of a documented
command-line compile-time option, i.e. "--with-parameters=32".
Currently, increasing the number of parameters requires altering the
C config files before compilation, a rather user-hostile process.
I've raised this point 3 or 4 times on this list now, and have not seen
a respons from you or Thomas on this suggestion. If I had the
skills, I'd do it myself and upload the changes, but C is not my
strong suit.
Also, what is the practical maximum number of parameters?
