- Doing a lot of DB manipulation in pl/Perl or pl/Tcl or such
requires having an extra level of function manipulations that
won't be as natural as straight pl/pgsql.
Another important distinguishing characteristic is whether it supports
set returning functions. I think only plpgsql does right now.
Actually no. Plperl, plphp, plruby and I believe even pl/Tcl support set
returning functions.
Sincerely,
