> Stored Procedures
> -----------------
>
> Stored procedures are blocks of code stored and executed in
> the database backend. They are typically created in an SQL-like procedural
> language or a fourth-generation language such as Java or Perl.

> - MySQL has no support for any form of stored procedure. Implementation
> is planned at an unspecified future date:
> http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/ANSI_diff_Triggers.html
>
> - PostgreSQL provides mature and tested support for function creation
> in SQL and the following procedural languages:
> PL/PgSQL (PostgreSQL's own procedural language, similar
> to e.g. Oracle's PL/SQL)
> Perl
> Python
> Tcl
