But I'm not too dogmatic on the subject. What do others think?
Given that $$ is also used to quote non-procedural strings, I don't like
the idea that psql would be trying to execute any string I gave it after
forgetting "select". If nothing else, that would lead to confusing and
misleading error messages.
Ideally, we'd be able to execute *any* PL that way by setting a shell
variable:
\pl plperl
DO $f$ foreach ( @_ ) { ...
I think you have misunderstood.
I am not talking at all about doing this in psql. It would be built into
the server's SQL so you could use any client, and the default language
would be a GUC as Tom suggested upstream.
