Lest anyone forget, I will put in my traditional plug for Java
as the UDF, trigger, and stored procedure implementation language.
Among other good and valuable considerations, Java runs in a
squeeky clean sandbox.

The problem with hard code is that it is hopelessly insecure.
It's bad enough that badly written code can crash the server.
It's much worse that well written code can compomise security,
export data over the net, capture passwords, etc.
