[plt-scheme] data persistence

For my applications the ability to use stored procedures in Postgres 
makes it the db of choice -- as far as I know MySQL still does not have 
this capability. With stored procedures (written in any of several 
flavors including an internal procedural language, PLSQL) I can separate 
  the persistent store from the application logic in a very clean way; I 
can rearrange and optimize my db and its access logic without affecting 
the defined interface. Postgres in general is a much more sophisticated 
environment in which to do serious development.
