Re: FUNCTIONS

In Postgresql, the number of stored procedures isn't really an issue.
however, the efficiency of those stored procedures, and the table schema
they operate on is quite important.

Make sure your fk/pk relationships are of the same data type.
Make sure you aren't writing triggers that wind up being accidentally
recursive
Stored procedures in C are usually the fastest, but plpgsql and plsql are
both quite acceptable performers.

I would worry more about database tuning and proper design of the schema
than the stored procs. Make as many UDFs (user defined functions, the
postgresql name for a stored procedure, sorta) as you want, the number of
them won't be an issue.
