    Well, it’s not really higher-order PL/pgSQL, since the language doesn’t support closures, as far as I know. But I have been working on a series of articles for O’Reilly Databases site, drawing inspiration from Mark Jason Dominus’s Higher-Order Perl, and specifically using the Fibonacci sequence to create example PL/pgSQL functions. It turns out that, while the Fibonacci sequence may not be of much use in day-to-day database work, it makes for great pedagogy. And I learned a fair bit along the way, as well.
