Prolog language for PostgreSQL

This is a PostgreSQL extension that allows writing stored procedures in Prolog.

This embeds Scryer Prolog into a PostgreSQL extension.

Proof of concept! Not ready for any actual use.

PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.

For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

Lemmy currently uses distinct tables like post_like: (post_id, person_id, score) and post_saved. Unfortunately this causes performance issues when we have to join many of these tables to create views.

One suggestion in this PR, is to combine these into a single post_action table, with a lot of optional columns depending on the action. This solution scares me a little, because I'm afraid we might lose data integrity, and many of our constraints with so many optional columns.

Is there a better way of doing this in SQL?

Is it possible to upgrade PostreSQL from 14 to 16 directly when using containers?
