Of course NOT! That name was reserved for the embedded
"PostScript Query Language" (psql)
But it'll be more like a datatype to store documents as
PostScript templates, that on retrieval fill in the actual
data into variable fields in the document.
Slight variants of it will be plpgpdfql, plpgpcl5ql and
plpghpglql.
Plpgpdfql for example would be very efficient for
personalized mass emailing. The current practice of HTML
spamming doesn't fill the available bandwidth ...
