<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<application>createlang</application> is a utility for adding a new
|
|
programming language to a <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database.
|
|
<application>createlang</application> can handle all the languages
|
|
supplied in the default <productname>PostgreSQL</> distribution, but
|
|
not languages provided by other parties.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Although backend programming languages can be added directly using
|
|
several <acronym>SQL</acronym> commands, it is recommended to use
|
|
<application>createlang</application> because it performs a number
|
|
of checks and is much easier to use. See
|
|
<xref linkend="sql-createlanguage" endterm="sql-createlanguage-title">
|
|
for additional information.
