Обсуждение: PL/pgsql or C/C++
This is a general question expecting general answers. I've read the documentation concerning triggers and functions, as well as the documentation on the different languages you can use for driving these triggers and functions. Aside from portability and the lack of having to explicitly compiling a C/C++ library, what advantages does PL/pgsql have over C/C++ or even PL/tcl? ^chewie

For running a 'quick and dirty' trigger, it's a lot easier than compiling a C library or (in my case) learning TCL. I suppose if you already know TCL, there isn't that much point. -- Ian Phillips ian@comodo.net "The Z80 - The Chip of the Seventies! Today!"
PL/pgsql ADN PL/tcl is safer -- that is the OFFICIAL reason, tho the real reason may be comvenience. As for PL/pgsql and PL/tcl: I asked before, no answer. I guess it is portablility and existing codes. If you are a hero, use tcl, if not, use pl/pgsql.
