In Part 2 of PL/R we covered how to build PL/R functions that take arrays and output textual outputs of generated R objects. We then used this in an aggregate SQL query using array_agg. Often when you are building PL/R functions
you'll have R functions that you want to reuse many times either inside a single PL/R function or across various PL/R functions.
Unfortunately, if you wanted to call a PL/R function from another PL/R function, this is not possible unless you are doing it from spi.execute call.
There is another way to embed reusable R code in a PostgreSQL database.
In order to be able to share databases stored R code across various PL/R functions, PL/R has a feature called a plr_module. In this tutorial
we'll learn how to create and register shareable R functions with plr_module. In the next part of this series we'll start to explore generating graphs with PL/R.
