But SQL/PSM or PL/pgSQL are not clasic languages. Big advantage is big disadvantage too -> relation on SQL engine. I can use all SQL types, but I can't to do efective concation of strings. Sorry, I don't see any benefit of bytecode for these languages. PL/pgSQL works fine (for specific task). What can be better? o evaluation of expressions. -- needs integration with sql parser o debugging o persistent compiled code o syntax Please, write me, private, your opinions. And don't scowl at me, so I am in oportunity :). Regards Pavek ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
