I am attempting to create a new language implementation. The language is Andl (see http://www.andl.org/2016/04/postgres-meet-andl/). I would like to be able to execute SQL queries by a direct call into Postgres, without going through either (1) the language call handler or (2) a 'wire' protocol. Re (1): At present I can do it like this: SELECT * FROM COMPILE($$ <Andl code goes here> $$); But I would like to avoid the outer SQL SQL wrapper. Re (2): Those queries will contain Andl functions, which require a callback into the same session of the language 'engine'. I guess what I'm trying to do is provide a substitute for existing wire protocols, using either a Thrift server or a Web server calling directly into Postgres.
