Hello hackers, Here is a summary of what was implemented over the summer in PL/Julia:
1. Added support for more datatypes as input and output: NULL, boolean, numeric types, composite types, arrays of base types can now be passed as input arguments to PL/Julia functions. Users can also return the above, or sets of the above from PL/Julia UDFs. 2. Added trigger support - users can write trigger functions in PL/Julia 3. Added event trigger support 4. Added support for the DO command 5. Added functions for database access from PL/Julia: spi_exec(query, limit) and spi_exec(query) for SQL-statement execution, spi_fetchrow(cursor) and spi_cursor_close(cursor) to return rows and to close the cursor respectively, spi_prepare(query, argtypes) to prepare and save an execution plan and spi_exec_prepared(plan, args, limit) to execute a previously prepared plan. A brief presentation of the above https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cTnsUWiH6o0YH6MlZoPLofna3eNT3P3r9HSL9Dyte5U/edit?usp=sharing Documentation with use examples https://gitlab.com/konskov/pljulia/-/blob/main/README.md Currently the extension works for version 13 and Julia versions >= 1.6 (Thanks to Imre Samu for testing!) I hope you find it interesting. Regards, Konstantina
