Most people handle this with user-defined functions (UDF) written in
PL/PgSQL procedural language.
Try to read The Friendly Manual
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createfunction.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql.html
Don't worry - all Transact-SQL constructs have their equivalent.
Just start rewriting your function and begin asking specific questions
here... People will help.
I would begin with
create or replace function sp_GetUserByID( in_UserId varchar(50), ...)
returns varchar(50)
language plpgsql as $$
declare
...
begin
...
return somevariable;
end;
$$;
HTH,
Filip
