I used the queries in access, and I heard that it is possible to store
those queries on the server as "functions" or "procedures" ???

well, the thing is, that I don't know anything about this, I'd
appreciate some input.

Yup, Postgres is a proper database ;-).

You might find http://www.postgresql.org/docs/ relevant, especially:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=sql-createfunction.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=programmer-pl.html

"views" might also be a feature worth looking at.
