# 37.8. Procedural Language Functions

PostgreSQL 允許使用者定義的函數用 SQL 和 C 之外的其他語言撰寫。這些其他的程式語言通常稱為程序語言（PL）。程序語言並沒有內建在 PostgreSQL 伺服器中的。它們由可外掛模組提供。有關更多資訊，請參閱第 41 章和後續章節。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.postgresql.tw/14/server-programming/extending-sql/procedural-language-functions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
