PL/Tcl has the advantage that it can do the table creates you want. OTOH if your frontend app is written in Perl,
it'snot that likely that one of the app programmers easily understands a function.
I have no benchmarking information between the procedural languages. If that's really an issue, write your
functions and triggers in C.
