[pgrouting-dev] How many people use the wrapper functions?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi all,

Daniel and I have been wondering if people use the wrapper function 
versus the core functions directly? Or if you have written your own 
wrapper functions? etc.

The core functions are the low level function that directly call the 
internal library functions.

The wrapper functions are all the additional plpgsql convenience 
functions that generate more complex SQL queries and then call the core 
functions.

I know that I never use the wrapper functions because I found them to 
messy and inconsistent and have hard coded values in them, etc. So I 
wrote my own high level wrapper functions that made it easy for me to 
work with the core functions.

So I thought it would be wise to ask our users what they use? and how 
they use pgRouting, so we do not may a decision like "Throw out the 
wrapper functions" without some input from the user community.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION and let us know!

Thanks,
   -Steve
