PG has no competition from MySQL. MySQL finally got a procedural
language, but it's perl! perl is in many ways a terrible PL.
Basically, if you are using a database for any kind of real stuff
where data integrity and reliability are important, you need a
strongly-typed language. PL/pgsql is actually a greal language for
this. Far better than perl.
Anyway... yeah, I have heard that a lot of java vms are not fast, but
a lot of the time fast isn't as important as solid and correct, and
java lends itself to solid, correct programming better than most other
languages.
