CREATELANG (1)

Add a new programming language to a Postgres database

SYNOPSIS

    createlang [ langname ]
    createlang [ -h host ] [ -p port ]
            [ langname ]
    

    createlang accepts the following command line arguments:

    langname

      Specifies the name of the backend programming language to be defined. createlang will prompt for langname if it is not specified on the command line.

    createlang also accepts the following command line arguments for connection parameters:

    -h host

      Specifies the hostname of the machine on which the postmaster is running. Defaults to using a local Unix domain socket rather than an IP connection.

    -p port

      Specifies the Internet TCP/IP port or local Unix domain socket file extension on which the postmaster is listening for connections. The port number defaults to 5432, or the value of the PGPORT environment variable (if set).

    createlang installs a new programming language into a Postgres server, so has not explicit external output.

DESCRIPTION

    createlang is a utility for adding a new programming language to a Postgres database. createlang currently accepts two languages, plsql and pltcl.

NOTES

    See create_language(l) for more details.

USAGE
