Good day, Jyoti. JS> we can use any of the "untrusted" procedural languages JS> http://www.pgsql.cz/index.php/PL/Perlu_-_Untrusted_Perl_(en) What !! There is no need to have CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION open FILE, $_[0]; my @cntn = (); while (<FILE>) { } __You as man (by hands) convert__ tree of data into database tables by procedural language once again. You are wrong: all, which is necessary, is to have __a.b.c__ in language for JS> create table a ( JS> id num primary key, JS> data float JS> ); JS> create table b ( JS> id num primary key, JS> ref num references a(id), JS> data float JS> ); JS> create table c ( JS> id num primary key, JS> link num references b(id), JS> data float JS> );
JS> to access resources outside the database JS> (e.g. pl/perlu). There is no need to have CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:'.$_[0],$_[1],$_[2], { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit = > }); __You as man (by hands) install connect__ between DBMS and external world by procedural language once again. You are wrong once again: advantage is to __refuse__ from procedural language (to install connect) instead of put it from outside of DBMS into inside of DBMS. All, which is necessary, is DBMS itself listen some port/protocol.
