True.

True, however, it goes to show the authors level of knowledge when
researching and churning out the book. You'd think there at least
would've been a mention of extending the procedural language.
Of course, Oracle supports C and Java stored procedures and Microsoft
supports procedures with the Common Language Runtime... so I don't
think it's a fair comparison to say, "PostgreSQL can do it and others
can't" just because they didn't mention PL extensibility.
Just my 2 cents.
