Re: PL/java

Hi,

My concern is a purely commercial, in this case.

We work only for “large” companies. Only telecommunications operators (more than 5 million subscribers)

In this environment the “IBM / SAP / Accenture” effect is very strong - “I chose the leader, it is not my fault that it failed”

So, having something like PL/java when it is not “supported” by anyone with a markeatable name is always a barrier.

Furthermore, if it is not in the Postgres.org<http://Postgres.org> supported things, it will not be available in AWS RDS service, AWS Aurora, Azure xyz, Citus…, which limits our deployment options.

Thanks,

Hi,
I am the lead architect in a small firm that develops a very specialised ETL platform.
Traditionally, we have used Oracle and PL-SQL, and we are now porting everything to Postgres.
All of our code outside of the database is java and I wiash that all of our code within the database to be also in java.
The PL/java “add-on” is not supported directly by Postgres.
I would like to ask if there is a plan to include it as an official procedural language. If so, when?

None that I have heard of. Even if the decision where to made today it would likely a couple of years before it would be included, so that is not going to help you. What is your concern?
