lup, Then does Postgresql support languages other than pl/pgsql? I'm not trying to tear down pl/pgsql, simply pointing out that there is strong demand for other languages as well. And to answer Pavel's earlier point: the lack of developers getting behind pl/java and JDBC driver does not equate the lack of demand for those tools. For every one person contributing patches, there are 1000s who do not but are more than happy to use the finished work.
