Firebird SQL 'rdb$get_context eq' equivalent in PostGreSQL

[Werner]

Hi,

I like to move to eventually support PGSQL 9.3+ as an alternative engine.

With Firebird SQL I am using the following to set/get the language used
by a connection/user.

rdb$get_context('USER_SESSION', 'LANGUAGE_ID') -
http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd20-get-context.html

googling and looking at the PG documentation I can't find something
similar, probably just using the wrong terminology:-( .

Anyone can give me a tip of where to look?

Thanks
Werner
