Day 77 -PL/Python

Today, I achieved a significant milestone in my project by completing the Quick Start tutorial for the procedural language PL/Python. This part of the tutorial focuses on using Python as a procedural language to create custom functions within PostgreSQL extensions.

I began by understanding the basics of PL/Python, such as how to define functions, pass parameters, and execute code directly in Python. Then, I explored more advanced features, including using external Python modules and handling exceptions to ensure smooth and error-free operations.

Throughout the process, I encountered a few challenges, but the PostgreSQL community and online resources came to my rescue once again. With their help, I was able to troubleshoot and overcome the issues I faced, further enhancing my knowledge of PL/Python and PostgreSQL.

Completing this section of the tutorial marks a significant step towards providing a comprehensive guide for extending PostgreSQL using different languages and methods. With the addition of PL/Python, the tutorial now covers a wide range of extensibility options, catering to developers with diverse needs and preferences.
