PLPGSQL array indexing start at 1?

Question

I have found that, by default, the first index of an array in PLPGSQL starts at 1, and not 0 like most programming languages. I was just curious as to why this is, and what other programming language follow this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

What languages follow the default array indexing at 1?

ALGOL 68, COBOL, Fortran (if not specified otherwise), FoxPro, Lua, MATLAB, ... anyway, the list is here.
