The catalog pg_language registers languages in which you can write functions or stored procedures. See CREATE LANGUAGE and Chapter 36 for more information about language handlers.
Table 43-20. pg_language Columns
Name | Type | References | Description |
---|---|---|---|
lanname | name | Name of the language | |
lanispl | bool | This is false for internal languages (such as SQL) and true for user-defined languages. Currently, pg_dump still uses this to determine which languages need to be dumped, but this may be replaced by a different mechanism in the future | |
lanpltrusted | bool | True if this is a trusted language, which means that it is believed not to grant access to anything outside the normal SQL execution environment. Only superusers may create functions in untrusted languages | |
lanplcallfoid | oid | pg_proc.oid | For noninternal languages this references the language handler, which is a special function that is responsible for executing all functions that are written in the particular language |
lanvalidator | oid | pg_proc.oid | This references a language validator function that is responsible for checking the syntax and validity of new functions when they are created. Zero if no validator is provided |
lanacl | aclitem[] | Access privileges; see GRANT and REVOKE for details |
