For > example, I read that PL/Python only supports returning a single value. What do you mean by "more than one value"? Multiple columns (composite type), multiple rows (set), or both? In any case, the documentation for each language describes its capabilities. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/server-programming.html Of the standard languages in PostgreSQL 8.1 you can return sets, composite types, and sets of composite types with C, SQL, PL/pgSQL, and PL/Perl but not with PL/Tcl or PL/Python. Third-party languages with support for sets and composite types include PL/Ruby, PL/php, PL/R, PL/Java, and possibly others. -- Michael Fuhr
