Hi,

Would like to know whether postgresql supports calling a rest service from

Looking for Oracle to postgresql feasibility study.

Searched in Google but could not find any official document regarding the
same. Appreciate if inputs or reference links are shared or confirmed.

Absolutely. Pick any language capable of doing it (e.g. python, perl, v8/js
etc) and it will work fine. Depending on what the rest api looks like it
might also be a good idea to use something like multicorn to create a
foreign data wrapper to access it, thereby not needing a function or
procedure at all.

you can do simply via untrusted languages or you can use this extension

or don't do it. Usually it is not great idea (sometimes there can be a
exceptions)
