PHP as PL
Does anyone know of an individual/group/whatever working on a project to
allow PHP to be used as a PL for Postgres?
Thanks,
Rod

I've discussed it with Christopher Kings-Lynne a little while back. I
don't think it would be too terribly hard to do, using the new php-embed
option, and PL/R as starting point -- but I probably won't have the time
to get started until after the Postgres 7.4 beta freeze.

No, never heard of one, but I think MySQL may have one.

MySQL a PL ??
I don't think so, last time I looked it wasn't possible and it wouldn't
be untill the 5.x releases afaik.

Don't know about PHP but Perl as PL for MySQL pops up from time
to time:

Doesn't seem to have made the big time yet though ;-).

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.

When the first Zend Engine was released, Zeev (or Andi) mentioned that they
were is discussion with MySQL AB to have PHP as a PL for MySQL. Since
then, not a word. MySQL only mentions that they plan to have PL support in
v5 but no mention of what language that will use....

Yes, that is what I remember.
