Thread: Wikipedia for PostgreSQL (and MySQL)
These are kind of cool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL (The description part of that is...interesting) One thing I think that needs updating and will definitely need to be updated for 7.5 release is the Shortcomings section. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL Anyone we know contributed to them?

By means of PL/sh you can use any language at all. :-) -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

What, you want to know whether you can write functions in Befunge, BF or a Turing-complying gotoless language like INTERCAL? Seems as attractive to me as writing in Parrot assembly ... -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "Now I have my system running, not a byte was off the shelf; It rarely breaks and when it does I fix the code myself.

No, I'm wondering which particular languages people have written PostgreSQL language handlers for. There does not seem to be any sort of central list anywhere. -- output = reverse("gro.mca" "@" "enworbbc") http://cbbrowne.com/info/postgresql.html "MICROS~1: The People who Brought the Y2K Bug into Software Titling" -- cbbrowne@hex.net
