PostgreSQL Extension request - PLv8

[Areski Belaid]

Hi,

PLv8  would be a very useful one to have and many peoples would like it too according to the hacker news comments [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13831277]

+1 for plv8 .. it's probably the biggest thing that separates pgsql from other sql options (combined with json datatypes).  I know there are other data options for nosql/json data, but being able to use a single data store that can touch both your important transactional data, and your document records is pretty sweet, and being able to use a query language that doesn't suck for the task is nicer still....  mostly SQL, some JS, nice all around.

+1 we use PLv8 in some stored functions (for simplicity otherwise we would have to write unnecessary complex SQL recursive code) we can't our db to Google Cloud for this reason.

+1 If this is how it works :-)

So there is conflicting information in the Google Cloud docs whether requests regarding extensions go into this Google Group or have to be risen in the issue tracker. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-cloud-sql-discuss/lHam63RCXD4

+1 for PLv8, it's a trusted postgres language and is keeping my team from adopting cloud sql.
