Hello,
I would need an example of user defined function written in "C" that
will receive some parameters (two or three), that will search some
tables and make some calculations and that will return a value (a text,
a float8 value).
I tried to dig on examples in contrib directory but without success.
Thanks in advance,

I'm wouldn't think it's possible. And if it is I wouldn't think it is
useful. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I'm not sure if JavaScript can, as it runs within the browser.
I hope you are not confusing Java and Javascript, as the JDBC driver is just
for Java.

It's sounds like you're looking for an ASP type solution. I've
never implemented ASP on a Unix platform. and I doubt it is a good idea.
Look at http://www.php.net/ - an amalgam of Perl, C, Java (easy
learning curve)
PHP is a scripting language. It compiles as an Apache module. This
is important because it allows you to get away from the startup overhead of
CGI, while still allowing the robustness of a true language and placing the
code where it relates in the HTML if you desire. It also has support for
native PostgreSQL API.
Look at http://www.perl.com/ - Perl (need I say more)
There is also a Apache module version of Perl coupled with EmbedPerl
and you've got an in your HTML scripting language, with most of the same
strengths as PHP. The biggest win that PHP has over Perl is a smaller
memory footprint, second would be that PHP is easier to learn, but Perl has
a very good support base (means more stuff to play with). There's not a
support for the native PostgreSQL API but there's a pure Perl drive that has
been written and a DBI module.
Look at http://www.zope.com/ - Python based
Zope also supports the native PostgreSQL API. I haven't used it but
it might serve you purposes.
Look at http://www.aolserver.com/ - TCL (AOL Server would replace
Apache)
AOL Server is a threaded web server that has support for the native
PostgreSQL API. It also has a TCL scripting.
I'd look at those solutions, If CGI is the way you want to go do it
in Perl or C. But I really don't think it's possible to connect to
PostgreSQL via JavaScript. As Peter said there's big difference between
JavaScript and Java.
Hope this helps,
DEJ
