What? I heard their plan was to use perl for user defined functions a
while back. At that time of course without server side data access
inside the same transaction, but things might have changed.

Anyhow, I think PHP as a procedural language inside PostgreSQL would
make a lot of sense. It seems natural to use the same programming
language when trying to split up the business logic between the middle
tear layer (Apache/PHP) and the database.
