Schedule - PGConf.EU 2017
PostgreSQL Server Side Programming for Javascript Developers
Date: 2017-10-26
Time: 14:40–15:30
Room: Baltic I
Level: Intermediate
One of the great features of PostgreSQL is its pluggable language handler allowing many different types of stored procedure languages including JavaScript aka PL/V8. This allows web developers to leverage their existing coding skills when writing database sever-side code. In this talk we will discuss:
- Why someone would want to write server side code
- How to create a PL/V8 function
- How to interact with database objects
- Returning results back to the application code
- Creating event based functions or triggers
