Database Reference
In-Depth Information
Summary
In this chapter, we saw that it is relatively easy to do things way beyond what a simple
SQL database server is supposed to support, thanks to its pluggable language's sup-
port.
In fact, you can do almost anything in the PostgreSQL server you could do in any oth-
er application server. Hopefully, this chapter just scratched the surface on some of the
ideas of what you can do inside a PostgreSQL server.
In the next chapter, we will learn about writing PostgreSQL's more advanced functions
in C. This will give you deeper access to PostgreSQL, allowing you to use a Post-
greSQL server for even more powerful things.
