There are a number of different PL-languages. How do you select these

Suggest me please your way of PL language selection.
Well, it kind of depends on what you want to do. Different languages
are good for different things. If you want pattern matching you might
want pl/perl.
Oh, great! It sounds good cause we use Perl hardly in our work and
understand something in this language :).
For simple SQL stuff, pl/sql has the advantage that it
can be inlined. pl/pgsql looks similar to oracles offering, some people
like that.
I thought the same. When I worked with Sybase Adaptive SQL Anywhere few
years ago I liked its Watcom SQL dialect for its power of computation
possibilities.
The languages are all fast enough that you should really consider
maintainability, readabilty and coding experience before speed...
This is very important especially in case of active using of database in
insert/update conditions. And I thought PL/SQL is more "native". If they
are equally by maintainability - so, PosgreSQL is fine a lot :).
