Things I didn’t know 1

That’s something I did not know before: PostgreSQL is extendable via TCL, Perl and Python. The latter is the interesting one. Don’t want to stuck with archaic languages. Extendable means, that it is possible to write SQL-functions in one of this language, which creates the opportunity to put much more logic in the database as it is normally possible.

Update:
Astro pointed to PL/Ruby, which introduces the possibility to create SQL-functions in Ruby.

    Yeah, that’s called PL/Python. And guess what’s there, too: http://moulon.inra.fr/ruby/plruby.html
