Love what you're doing. I've built a fairly sizable cloud based POS with postgres on the backend. In doing so I've written thousands of lines of sql and stored procedures over the last 3 years. You've managed to tackle almost all the stuff I've been bitching about in sql.

any plans to implement a full stored procedure language?

how well does it integrate with calls to postgres functions?

Thanks!

There are plans, and they have the word "Wasm" in them :-) You can also do a lot with pure-EdgeQL functions already.

In theory all you need to do is write a function declaration with `USING SQL FUNCTION` [2], however we are currently limiting this functionality to the standard library, until we grow a well-defined user extension mechanism (a-la `CREATE EXTENSION` in Postgres).
