Hello,

Documentation says "An external procedure is a procedure external to HP Vertica that you create, maintain, and store on the server. External procedures are simply executable files such as shell scripts, compiled code, code interpreters, and so on."

What does compiled code and interpreters stand for....any examples.......

My intention is asking towards Python ;)

It could be any binary process.  An external procedure just runs any command line program.
