Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I follow you.

(I'll note anyway that (1) SQL functions can have side effects: CREATE 
FUNCTION foo() RETURNS VOID AS 'DELETE FROM ...', for example (2) 
Administrators can always choose to drop pl/pgsql for a particular 
database, disable it at initdb time, or REVOKE usage of pl/pgsql for 
particular users.)
