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 :-)

Wow :)


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

What do you mean?

- with Perl/TCL etc you can write one trigger function and have it adapt itself to different tables quite easily.

Perl is our working horse :), so this sounds good.


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:
  http://www.commandprompt.com/community/plphp/

I've heard about this, but Perl and Python are more preferred for us.
