For example:
<programlisting>
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION set_var(TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
$_SHARED{first} = 'Hello, PL/Perl!';
return 'ok';
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION set_var(name TEXT, val TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
if ($_SHARED{$_[0]} = $_[1]) {
return 'ok';
} else {
return "Can't set shared variable $_[0] to $_[1]";
}
$$ LANGUAGE plperl;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_var() RETURNS text AS $$
return $_SHARED{first};
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_var(name TEXT) RETURNS text AS $$
return $_SHARED{$_[0]};
$$ LANGUAGE plperl;
SELECT set_var('hello plperl');
SELECT get_var();
SELECT set_var('sample', $q$Hello, PL/Perl! How's tricks?$q$);
SELECT get_var('sample');
