Procedural programming languages

With PostgreSQL, user-defined functions can be written in languages other than SQL and C.

There are currently four procedural languages available in the standard PostgreSQL distribution:

• PL/pgSQL

• PL/Tcl

• PL/Perl

• PL/Python

Additional procedural programming languages are available but are not included in the core distribution:

• PL/Java

• PL/Lua

• PL/R

• PL/sh

• PL/v8
