There is still a lot of room for moving complex code out of PSQL and into external procedures. There are many things for which PSQL is not an ideal choice, just as there are things for which UDRs will not be ideal. And there do seem to be opportunities for UDRs to be used to pull out some of the "sensitive" logic that people are trying to protect, and even just hiding some parts of a sensitive procedure will be like a black box that may make the meaning of the rest less clear - and less easily diverted to unwanted use. But you're right, of course. I've not tried to use UDRs yet, so I can't claim to fully understand or know the limitations. And, like all new features, it will take time to learn what's possible and what's practical. -- Geoff Worboys Telesis Computing Pty Ltd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
