Strictly speaking, of course, you can use PL/pgSQL from the terminal already: just use psql, connect to the database,
andcreate and run functions and procedures as much as you like.
If the question is, "Have there been any efforts to implement a PL/pgSQL interpreter without PostgreSQL?", that's a
differentand much more complex problem. PL/pgSQL uses the PostgreSQL query execution machinery to run pretty much
anythingthat is not a control structure, and the language is very focused on interacting with the database. I doubt it
wouldbe worth anyone's time to try to build some kind of minimal framework that implements the SPI to allow PL/pgSQL to
operatewithout PostgreSQL.
