If there's going to be a single standard language, I strongly believe it should be plpgsql. Any other language means that you have to find something that someone else knows or is willing to learn, whereas anyone using a database already knows SQL. plpgsql is simply an extension of SQL, and is trivial for anyone who's worked with any other database procedural languages to pickup. Asking a DBA to learn java or perl or PHP is asking a lot.
If anything I'd like to see more features brought into plpgsql, like packages (ala Oracle). -- Jim C.
