Why jump between SQL and Python... when you can just run Python inside your database?

In my latest piece, I dive into PL/Python, a PostgreSQL extension that lets you:

  • 💡 Use Python libraries (NumPy, Pandas…) inside your database
  • 🧠 Write functions and triggers in Python instead of SQL
  • 📊 Run advanced calculations, call APIs, or process arrays — directly in PostgreSQL

You’ll learn how to:

  • ✅ Enable PL/Python in one line
  • ✨ Write your first Python-powered SQL functions
  • 🧮 Use NumPy to compute stats inside a DB query
  • ⚠️ Create validation triggers with real Python logic
  • 🔁 Even manage transactions manually if needed

Trust me: this will change how you think about PostgreSQL forever.
No more awkward data hops between your app and DB — bring Python to the data.
