I already considered using ghc with postgresql. It could be very, very good pair, but.... ghc runtime cannot be re-initialized, and reqular way for stored procedures in postgresql is calling function from shared object (meaning, I have to shut down ghc runtime each time stored procedure ended).
What other options do you see?
Take a look at PL/J for postgresql. It runs java as a daemon application server separate from the postgresql backends to process the java procedures while still allowing access to postgresql SPI calls. The procedures are installed into the java app server instead of postgresql directly. I imagine something similar could be created for haskell, but I suspect postgresql's odd type system would pose formidable challenges. http://plj.codehaus.org/ Cheers, M
