The best open source database system, which is of course my favourite, has released version 11. This marks another great step forward. Now not only functions, but stored procedures are available as well. The difference between these two? Stored procedures cannot return a value, but they can begin an end transactions, while functions always run as part of a single statement.
It's great to see than the Tool Command Language (
