This part is about extending the server functionality with
user-defined functions, data types, triggers, etc. These are
advanced topics which should probably be approached only after all
the other user documentation about <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> has
been understood. Later chapters in this part describe the server-side
programming languages available in the
<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> distribution as well as
general issues concerning server-side programming languages. It
is essential to read at least the earlier sections of <a class="xref" href="extend.html" title="Chapter 38. Extending SQL">Chapter 38</a> (covering functions) before diving into the
material about server-side programming languages.
