Ah. I thought you were talking about client interface libraries in different languages, which are surely a dime a dozen. As far as server-side functions go, we might be unique in offering so many languages to work in. I think we probably are unique in being so aggressively agnostic about what the function language is. That's not necessarily all good, as it's driven us to invent curiosities like dollar-quoting to avoid having to mesh lexical details of the function language and the outer SQL language. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
