Summary
Programming inside the database server is not always the first thing that comes to
mind to many developers, but it's unique placement inside the application stack gives
it some powerful advantages. Your application can be faster, more secure, and more
maintainable by pushing your logic into the database. With server-side programming
in PostgreSQL, you can:
• Secure your data using functions
• Audit access to your data using triggers
• Enrich your data using custom data types
• Analyze your data using custom operators
And this is just the very start of what you can do inside PostgreSQL. Throughout the
rest of this topic, you will learn about many other ways to write powerful applications
by programming inside PostgreSQL.
