Hi.
I do small test of plsql and perl.Result is that perl may be
2xfaster in simple loops.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _.test1() RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
declare i integer; j bigint := 0;
begin
for i in 1..1000000 loop j:=j+i; end loop;
end;
$BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE COST 100;
"Result (cost=0.00..0.26 rows=1 width=0) (actual
time=1382.851..1382.853 rows=1 loops=1)"
"Total runtime: 1383.167 ms"
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _.test2() RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
$j=0;
for($i=0;$i<1000000;$i++) {
$j = $j + $i;
}
$BODY$ LANGUAGE plperlu VOLATILE COST 100;
"Result (cost=0.00..0.26 rows=1 width=0) (actual
time=584.272..584.275 rows=1 loops=1)"
"Total runtime: 584.355 ms"
