+  The <em class="firstterm">Server Programming Interface</em>
+  (<acronym class="acronym">SPI</acronym>) gives writers of user-defined
+  <acronym class="acronym">C</acronym> functions the ability to run
+  <acronym class="acronym">SQL</acronym> commands inside their functions or procedures.
+  <acronym class="acronym">SPI</acronym> is a set of
+  interface functions to simplify access to the parser, planner,
+  and executor. <acronym class="acronym">SPI</acronym> also does some
+  memory management.
+ </p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
+   The available procedural languages provide various means to
+   execute SQL commands from functions.  Most of these facilities are
+   based on SPI, so this documentation might be of use for users
+   of those languages as well.
+  </p></div><p>
+  Note that if a command invoked via SPI fails, then control will not be
+  returned to your C function.  Rather, the
+  transaction or subtransaction in which your C function executes will be
+  rolled back.  (This might seem surprising given that the SPI functions mostly
+  have documented error-return conventions.  Those conventions only apply
+  for errors detected within the SPI functions themselves, however.)
+  It is possible to recover control after an error by establishing your own
+  subtransaction surrounding SPI calls that might fail.
+ </p><p>
+  <acronym class="acronym">SPI</acronym> functions return a nonnegative result on
+  success (either via a returned integer value or in the global
+  variable <code class="varname">SPI_result</code>, as described below).  On
+  error, a negative result or <code class="symbol">NULL</code> will be returned.
+ </p><p>
+  Source code files that use SPI must include the header file
+  <code class="filename">executor/spi.h</code>.
