IMHO SQL/PSM would be the obvious choice for the standard 
procedural language. Not only because it is part of the SQL 
standard (ISO/IEC 9075-4:2003), but also because it is reasonably 
intuitive and it is the same as what is implemented in DB2 (and 
in MySQL 5 due sometime not so soon).
The only problem is that there is no PostgreSQL implementation.
