Pythonic PL/SQL programs?
103122Apr 19 2010 — edited Jul 8 2010I'm itching to begin creating a bunch of PL/SQL packages that will emulate certain handy Python features, but before I sink too much time into it... does anybody know of something like this already written?
The needs I'm feeling right now are for string manipulation (I'm sure many more will follow):
Python3-style string substitution: 'The {0} brown fox jumped over the {1} dog'.format('quick','brown')
.join()
.split()
.splitlines()
... and so forth
I think this package would not just implement the ones that don't exist in SQL/PLSQL, it will provide Pythonically familiar names and interfaces to the ones that do exist.
