<command>CREATE LANGUAGE</command> registers a new
|
||||
procedural language with a <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
|
||||
database. Subsequently, functions and trigger procedures can be
|

defined in this new language.
|

</para>
|

|

<note>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
As of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 9.1, most procedural
|
||||
languages have been made into <quote>extensions</>, and should
|
||||
therefore be installed with <xref linkend="sql-createextension">
|
||||
not <command>CREATE LANGUAGE</command>. Direct use of
|
||||
<command>CREATE LANGUAGE</command> should now be confined to
|
||||
extension installation scripts. If you have a <quote>bare</>
|
||||
language in your database, perhaps as a result of an upgrade,
|
||||
you can convert it to an extension using
|
||||
<literal>CREATE EXTENSION <replaceable>langname</> FROM
|
||||
unpackaged</literal>.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</note>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<command>CREATE LANGUAGE</command> effectively associates the
|
||||
language name with handler function(s) that are responsible for executing
|
||||
functions written in the language. Refer to <xref linkend="plhandler">
|
||||
for more information about language handlers.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
There are two forms of the <command>CREATE LANGUAGE</command> command.
|
||||
In the first form, the user supplies just the name of the desired
|
||||
language, and the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server consults
|
||||
the <link linkend="catalog-pg-pltemplate"><structname>pg_pltemplate</structname></link>
|
||||
system catalog to determine the correct parameters. In the second form,
|
||||
the user supplies the language parameters along with the language name.
|
||||
The second form can be used to create a language that is not defined in
|
||||
<structname>pg_pltemplate</>, but this approach is considered obsolescent.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
When the server finds an entry in the <structname>pg_pltemplate</> catalog
|
||||
for the given language name, it will use the catalog data even if the
|
||||
command includes language parameters. This behavior simplifies loading of
|
||||
old dump files, which are likely to contain out-of-date information
|
||||
about language support functions.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Ordinarily, the user must have the
|
||||
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> superuser privilege to
|
||||
register a new language. However, the owner of a database can register
|
||||
a new language within that database if the language is listed in
|
||||
the <structname>pg_pltemplate</structname> catalog and is marked
|
||||
as allowed to be created by database owners (<structfield>tmpldbacreate</>
|
||||
is true). The default is that trusted languages can be created
|
||||
by database owners, but this can be adjusted by superusers by modifying
|
||||
the contents of <structname>pg_pltemplate</structname>.
|
||||
The creator of a language becomes its owner and can later
|
||||
drop it, rename it, or assign it to a new owner.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<command>CREATE OR REPLACE LANGUAGE</command> will either create a
|
||||
new language, or replace an existing definition. If the language
|
||||
already exists, its parameters are updated according to the values
|
||||
specified or taken from <structname>pg_pltemplate</structname>,
|
||||
but the language's ownership and permissions settings do not change,
|
||||
and any existing functions written in the language are assumed to still
|
||||
be valid. In addition to the normal privilege requirements for creating
|
||||
a language, the user must be superuser or owner of the existing language.
|
||||
The <literal>REPLACE</> case is mainly meant to be used to
|
||||
ensure that the language exists. If the language has a
|
||||
<structname>pg_pltemplate</structname> entry then <literal>REPLACE</>
|
||||
will not actually change anything about an existing definition, except in
|
||||
the unusual case where the <structname>pg_pltemplate</structname> entry
|
||||
has been modified since the language was created.

registered with <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> as a

If no <replaceable class="parameter">inline_handler</replaceable>

The handler function must take one argument of

If no

To create functions in a procedural language, a user must have the

<literal>USAGE</literal> privilege for the language. By default,

<literal>USAGE</> is granted to <literal>PUBLIC</> (i.e., everyone)

for trusted languages. This can be revoked if desired.

Procedural languages are local to individual databases.
|

However, a language can be installed into the <literal>template1</literal>
|

database, which will cause it to be available automatically in

all subsequently-created databases.

The call handler function, the inline handler function (if any),
|

and the validator function (if any)
|

must already exist if the server does not have an entry for the language
|

in <structname>pg_pltemplate</>. But when there is an entry,
|
||||
the functions need not already exist;
|
||||
they will be automatically defined if not present in the database.
|

(This might result in <command>CREATE LANGUAGE</> failing, if the

shared library that implements the language is not available in
|

the installation.)

In <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> versions before 7.3, it was

necessary to declare handler functions as returning the placeholder

type <type>opaque</>, rather than <type>language_handler</>.
|
||||
To support loading
|

of old dump files, <command>CREATE LANGUAGE</> will accept a function
|

declared as returning <type>opaque</>, but it will issue a notice and

change the function's declared return type to <type>language_handler</>.
