Which of the following best explains why advanced PL/pgSQL techniques improve PostgreSQL function performance?
AThey replace the need for SQL queries entirely with procedural code.
BThey enable automatic indexing of tables without manual intervention.
CThey allow complex logic to be executed directly inside the database, reducing client-server communication.
DThey automatically parallelize all queries for faster execution.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand PL/pgSQL role

    PL/pgSQL allows embedding procedural logic inside the database.
  2. Step 2: Identify performance benefit

    Executing logic inside the database reduces overhead from multiple client-server round trips.
  3. Final Answer:

    They allow complex logic to be executed directly inside the database, reducing client-server communication. -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Advanced PL/pgSQL reduces network overhead [OK]
Quick Trick: Advanced PL/pgSQL reduces client-server calls [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing PL/pgSQL with automatic indexing
  • Assuming PL/pgSQL replaces all SQL queries
  • Believing PL/pgSQL automatically parallelizes queries
