lup,

Then does Postgresql support languages other than pl/pgsql? I'm not
trying to tear down pl/pgsql, simply pointing out that there is strong
demand for other languages as well.

And to answer Pavel's earlier point: the lack of developers getting
behind pl/java and JDBC driver does not equate the lack of demand for
those tools. For every one person contributing patches, there are 1000s
who do not but are more than happy to use the finished work.
