That is a good point, I and many developers I know like to keep all the
business logic on the server in stored procedure and functions and
having this ability as a native part of Postgresql would be a huge
advantage.
DBlink is a decent workaround,but it becomes a pain having to wrap
everything with the dblink syntax, plus there is a little bit of
overhead involved creating a connection over TCP/IP to run a query on
the same server. DBlink is great when you need to connect to a
different server though.
