36.45. sql_languages
The table
sql_languages
contains one row for
each SQL language binding that is supported by
PostgreSQL
.
PostgreSQL
supports direct SQL and
embedded SQL in C; that is all you will learn from this table.
This table was removed from the SQL standard in SQL:2008, so there are no entries referring to standards later than SQL:2003.
