Hello!

I am going to be inspired into PostgreSQL community. So I need your advices, buddies.

Crikey! I must be more persuasive than I thought :-)

There are a number of different PL-languages. How do you select these languages? I think PL/SQL is more fast or am I wrong?

Hmm - it varies. You are guaranteed to always have plpgsql available wherever PG is installed. It's not very good at dynamic stuff - with Perl/TCL etc you can write one trigger function and have it adapt itself to different tables quite easily.

The others have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the language itself. If you're prepared to compile from source there is a pl-php which might interest you.

It's from the nice people at Command Prompt:
