               guage to be defined.  createlang  will  prompt  for
               langname  if  it  is  not  specified on the command
               line.
 
        -d, --dbname dbname
               Specifies which database  the  language  should  be
               added.

        ments for connection parameters:
 
        -h, --host host
               Specifies  the hostname of the machine on which the
               postmaster is running. If host begins with a slash,
               it  is  used  as  the directory for the unix domain
               socket.
 
        -p, --port port
               Specifies the Internet TCP/IP port  or  local  Unix

        Most error messages are self-explanatory. If not, run cre­
        atelang  with  the --echo option and see under the respec­
        tive SQL command for details. Check also under psql(1) for
        more possibilities.
 
DESCRIPTION
        createlang  is a utility for adding a new programming lan­
        guage  to  a  Postgres  database.   createlang   currently
        accepts  several  languages,  plpgsql,  pltcl, pltclu, and
        plperl.
 
        Although  backend  programming  languages  can  be   added
        directly  using several SQL commands, it is recommended to
        use createlang because it performs a number of checks  and
        is  much  easier  to use. See CREATE LANGUAGE [create_lan­
        guage(l)] for more.
 
NOTES
        Use droplang(1) to remove a language.
 
 USAGE
        To install pltcl into the database template1:
 
        $ createlang pltcl template1
