1. SPI and Libpq

   Hi,
   Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the SPI and the Libpq
   interfaces and when to use what?
   I am writing some functions that will be used by triggers. What
   interface should I use to implement those functions?
   Thanks,
   Anand

   SPI - Server Programming Interface is for coding C functions in the
   backend.  Thus triggers can reference functions created using SPI..
   
   Libpq  is a front-end (or client side)  API.
