I see only one advantage of WM - sharing between languages. But SQL/PSM or
PL/pgSQL are not clasic languages. Big advantage is big disadvantage too
-> relation on SQL engine. I can use all SQL types, but I can't to do
efective concation of strings. Sorry, I don't see any benefit of bytecode
for these languages.
PL/pgSQL works fine (for specific task). What can be better?
o evaluation of expressions. -- needs integration with sql parser o debugging o persistent compiled code o syntax
Please, write me, private, your opinions. And don't scowl at me, so I am
in oportunity :).
