Assuming you're trying to write a server extension (and NOT a client
application), this is where you can start:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/server-programming.html
Specifically, an interface called "server programming interface"
(chapter 44 on the above page) can be used to issue SQLs from a server
extension module. Read more about it here (documentation also includes
few examples to get started with):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/spi.html
