Thanks for your work on it; although I'm not a java programmer, I'm sure a
number of people will find this useful. I do have a small licensing concern
though. Postgresql is currently distributed under a BSD-style license. If your
goal is to have this included with the Postgresql distribution, it would
probably keep things a lot simpler if the Java extension were kept under a
compatible license, or even the same one. Please note, I am NOT trying start a
flame war over which license is better; I'm just proposing that major software
packages like Postgresql use a consistent licensing scheme. Sort of like Perl
modules are typically licensed "under the same terms as Perl itself" so as to
guarantee they don't diverge from perl, and people aren't surprised by a
different license agreement when they add another perl module from CPAN.
Thanks again,

Subject: [GENERAL] java stored procedures
Hi!
A few months ago I asked if anyone started working on PL/JAVA, the
ansver was no. Now I started to write a java stored procedure language
and environment for PostgreSQL. Some code is already working, and it is
geting interresting. So, I would like to ask you to write me your ideas,
suggestions, etc for this environment.
The source code will be available under GPL when it is worth for
distributing it (this will take for a while).
thanks.
