通过安装第三方插件pldebugger，可实现在pgadmin客户端对函数设置断点、调试，具体过程如下：
1.下载pldebugger安装包：
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/ 所有第三方插件都可在此下载，此处下载pldebugger.git
2.拷贝安装
将下载好的压缩包（pldebugger-14c6caf.tar.gz)拷贝到postgresql安装目录contrib，
解压：
tar zxvf pldebugger-14c6caf.tar.gz
查看reademe文件，看安装要求：
Installation
------------
- Copy this directory to contrib/ in your PostgreSQL source tree.
- Run 'make; make install'
- Edit your postgresql.conf file, and modify the shared_preload_libraries config
option to look like:
shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/plugin_debugger'
- Restart PostgreSQL for the new setting to take effect.
- Run the following command in the database or databases that you wish to
debug functions in:
CREATE EXTENSION pldbgapi;
(on server versions older than 9.1, you must instead run the pldbgapi--1.0.sql
script directly using psql).
按以上要求进行安装。

可以看到，改插件被安装在postgresql目录的Lib文件中，查看lib目录可以看到：
-bash-4.1$ ll |grep debug
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 62025 Mar 10 09:09 plugin_debugger.so
*此处注意在配置参数shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/plugin_debugger'时，如果该参数有多个，只需加逗号即可，如
shared_preload_libraries = 'xxxxxx,$libdir/plugin_debugger'
安装
3.重启数据库，到需要进行函数调试数据库中执行CREATE EXTENSION pldbgapi;
注意：每次换一个库时，都要重新执行
经过以上过程，打开pgadmin，选择某个函数可以看到如下：
出现了调试功能，安装成功。
