Using More Perl in PostgreSQL (O'Reilly)

[Posted January 25, 2006 by cook]

Andrew Dunstan continues his O'Reilly series on Using Perl in PostgreSQL with part two. "The first article in this series examined the use of PL/Perl to create triggers. The trigger inserted a row into a database table for audit purposes using a new PL/Perl method called spi_exec_query(). This article looks in more detail at uses of that function and its new cousin, as well as other features for handling bulk data and composite types."
