lanname

name

Name of the language

lanowner

oid

pg_authid.oid

Owner of the language

lanispl

This is false for internal languages (such as SQL) and true for user-defined languages. Currently, pg_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

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 superusers can create functions in untrusted languages.

pg_proc.oid

For noninternal 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

pg_proc.oid

This references a function that is responsible for executing “[.quote]#inline”# anonymous code blocks (DO blocks). Zero if inline blocks are not supported.

lanvalidator
