PL/Perl allows you to write functions in the Perl programming language
that may be used in SQL queries as if they were built into Postgres.
The PL/Perl intepreter is a full Perl interpreter.  However, certain
operations have been disabled in order to maintain the security of the
system.
Major enhancements in PostgreSQL 9.3 include: * Add materialized views * Make simple views auto-updatable * Add many features for the JSON data type, including operators and functions to extract elements from JSON values * Implement SQL-standard LATERAL option for FROM-clause subqueries and function calls * Allow foreign data wrappers to support writes (inserts/updates/deletes) on foreign tables * Add a Postgres foreign data wrapper to allow access to other Postgres servers * Add support for event triggers * Add optional ability to checksum data pages and report corruption * Prevent non-key-field row updates from blocking foreign key checks * Greatly reduce System V shared memory requirements 2013-09-10 17:32:32 +02:00			`PL/Perl allows you to write functions in the Perl programming language`
