This feels like satire.

This is not a good idea. It has been done many times and never quite caught on because it is not a good idea.

From a security perspective it is a nightmare.

Or if you do put all the correct isolation around the code to protect the database, then you have basically created an "app server" (old term) inside a database, and it would happily, run outside of the database since in essence it is already doing so.
