lanname |

lanowner |
oid |
PG_AUTHID.oid |
Owner of the language |
lanispl |
boolean |
N/A |
The value is false for internal languages (such as SQL) and true for user-defined languages. Currently, gs_dump still uses this to determine which languages need to be dumped, but this might be replaced by a different mechanism in the future. |
lanpltrusted |
boolean |
N/A |
Its value is true if this is a trusted language, which means that it is believed not to grant access to anything outside the normal SQL execution environment. Only the initial user can create functions in untrusted languages. |
lanplcallfoid |
oid |
PG_AUTHID.oid |
For external languages, this references the language handler, which is a special function that is responsible for executing all functions that are written in the particular language. |
laninline |
oid |
PG_AUTHID.oid |
This references a function that is responsible for executing "inline" anonymous code blocks (DO blocks). The value is 0 if inline blocks are not supported. |
lanvalidator |
oid |
PG_AUTHID.oid |
This references a language validator function that is responsible for checking the syntax and validity of new functions when they are created. The value is 0 if no validator is provided. |
lanacl |
aclitem[] |
N/A |
Access permissions |
