I know there is already PSQL. But I think all database procedure language
somewhat rough. I think it would be better if we could use a language more
efficient, more complete and robust. I do not know IActiveScript well, but I
wasn't thinking about anything from microsoft. I was thinking of something
cleaner, lighter and more portable.

For now it is only an idea. I know that may be a long way to get some
concrete results. Anyway I will do some tests and see how my idea behaves.
But I think we can take advantage of it, for example, for more complex
calculations or save state in memory between two different points of a data
processing. We can use a file with the script that can be changed without
the need to change the main binary program. This file can be, for example, a
complex formula that may change. This script will return the result to the
database that made only one call to an UDF, passing only the necessary
parameters.

I do not know if the performance will be good or whether something is viable
to create and use. Just testing to know. What I want is to take advantage of
the ability of relatively easy to embed Firebird into dynamic libraries. If
all goes well I think we can greatly improve the integration of FB with
other technologies and, perhaps, give some gas to the use of FB.
