documentation is your friend : You should read through section V.
'Extending SQL' PostgreSQL has very rich extensibility features.
IMO, you should focus on pl/pgsql.
create or replace function foo(a int, b text) returns void as
$$
declare
valid boolean;
something numeric;
values record;
ok boolean default true;
begin
select into valid f1 = a where f2 = b;
something := 3 + a;
for values in select * from bar order by z loop
if values.v >= something then
ok := false;
end if;
update foobar set x = x + 1set where key = b;
end loop;
return;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
