Well, that's up to you to decide.  For instance, it's a good idea to think
hard about what happens if your transaction aborts after you've started
(or worse, completed) some external interaction.  But I assume the OP
has already worked out those problems in the context of his existing
Oracle application.

What I'd suggest is using one of the untrusted PLs --- probably plperlu
or plpythonu --- and coding whatever you need in that language.  Once
you're into one of those languages you have access to all the library
packages that are installed for it on the server machine, so it shouldn't
take very much code.

Hi,
In Oracle, we use the UTL_HTTP package to make a https call within the database. Is there an equivalent in PostgreSQL?

Thanks.

Is it acceptable practice to make http calls from DB in most cases? I'm assuming if the http service becomes unavailable it could clog up all connections in pg.

I would think adding jobs to some sort of a worker would be a good solution for most applications.
