PostgreSQL allows you to add your own functions in any of several
different languages, including Perl and C. If you can code your
perceptron function in one of the languages PostgreSQL understands,
you can do exactly what you suggest. Refer to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/xplang.html for starter
documentation.
