true compilation is necessary only for some cases (note: MySQL stored
procedures are not compiled too ~ PostgreSQL has similar language
plpgpsm with little bit faster execution
(http://www.pgsql.cz/index.php/SQL/PSM_Manual ). When plpgsql is
potentially slow, you can use perl or write own custom function in C,
what is simpler than with Oracle.
