I've seen too many good java developers write too much terrible
database-oriented code. If they are good with db and sql, plpgsql will
not be a problem to learn.
Agreed, plpgsql is SQL with Postgres extensions. I went down this road
with plpythonu. I am comfortable in Python, so I thought it would be
easier to write functions using plpythonu. I actually did this
backwards. I had created a fairly complex function in plpgsql and I
figured I could simplify by using plpythonu. I was well into it when I
had realized I written more code in plpythonu than plpgsql and still was
not close to completing it. I still use plpythonu but only when I need
the dynamic nature of Python or really need to use some Python module.
