adding procedural languages

hi everyone

ok i ve tried to add my own procedural language using
the call handler interface.

I am doining nothing in the handler function except
tyring to print a mess through errmsg function 
(plz correct me if i am wrong here, since i cant see
the message which i am printing)

Now my question is that how can i explicitly specify
that i want my pl language to be used.

I think i have added my language successfully by
following the procedure mentioned in the
documentation. 

So now how do i inform the database engine to use my
language for a specific query

thank you

Is this part of an academic project or something? Frankly, it looks to 
me like you need to acquire a lot of basic knowledge about how 
postgresql works internally before you even start thinking about what 
you are trying to do.

Serverside PLs can only be used in user-defined functions, and the 
language used is specified in the function definition, as in
 create function foo() returns text language mypl as $$ <code in mypl> $$;
