If there was idea to implement a .NET support in Windows version of PostgreSQL? Like existing Pl/Java

Like a > PL/.Net? Yea, I assume so. If we can do server-side Java, I assume we could do server-side .Net if someone wanted to code it. Of course it would be Win32-only, unless we used Mono for Unix. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

From the Mono web site: "Mono can run existing programs targeting the .NET or Java frameworks." does this mean that something written for Java (or .Net) could be compiled without mods? Mono would give someone inclined to code that a fairly easy inroad into several operating systems though ... I notice that they don't list Solaris as supported ... ---- Marc G.

It's not yet fully compliant with Java 1.4. As with GNU GCJ, it uses GNU Classpath and is a couple of years behind mainstream Java, both from a functionality and performance standpoint. Still, IKVM is a very interesting project. Regards, Thomas Hallgren

It would basically mean you could program procedures in any language that has a .NET bytecode compiler, including C#, C++, VB(!) and I believe java. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a .NET version of python in the works too, or even Ruby. -- Russ.

I notice that they don't list > Solaris as supported ... We have tried some basic web service request code in C#, and it runs the same in both .NET and Mono. We also made the same WS requests in Java. There were a couple fewer source lines of code in the C# versus Java. It does take some effort for a Visual Studio .NET developer to keep the generated code true to the ECMA C# and CLI standards (no MS-specific extensions) so that it is Mono-compatible. No such issues on the Java side. For the "most portable" apps, Java is probably the better choice. Josh Rovero

No need to recompile, just run it. While it feels a bit weird, running "./foo.exe" works just fine (assuming you've configured the "misc binary executor" or wahtever it's called to identify a mono executable - otherwise, run "mono foo.exe"). Compiled with Visual Studio on Windows, just copy over the .EXE. The same should work for Java, but the support is not as complete in the class libraries, AFAIK. PL/mono would be very nice. You can write in C#, Java, C++, VB(yuck), JScript etc from MS product, and there is definitly a python implementation out there. There are commercial implementations that let you do Cobol, if you're really crazy ;-) It would also provide a nice migration / co-existance with MS SQL 2005 which has it, and I beleive the new DB2 versions (on windows) also have stored procs in .NET. As .net is fairly similar to the JVM in architecture, it would probably be about as much work as PL/J[ava]. Which is quite a bit of work. I have no idea if anything can just be "stolen" from the PL/J[ava] projects... //Magnus
