I would like to know what is the overhead of using Perl versus C in
terms of memory
consumption, speed...
I'm storing usernames / encrypted passords in a table and wrote this
ridiculous Pl/Perl
function:
CREATE FUNCTION "crypt" (text,text )
RETURNS bool AS 'return (crypt($_[0],$_[1]) eq $_[1]) ? 1:0;'
LANGUAGE 'plperl'
in order to do things like:
select * from users where name='foo' and crypt(passwd, 'bar')
This is the only stored procedure I use in the database.
Is there any real life benefit in rewriting the function in C, and
loosing the simplicity of Perl ?
Thanks,
Jean-Denis Girard
