Regarding this part, at one of the links shared above [1], you can find presentations with hands-on instructions about how to implement a new SQL functionality by modifying various parts of the source code. See these: Implementing a TABLESAMPLE clause (by Neil Conway) http://www.neilconway.org/talks/hacking/ottawa/ottawa_slides.pdf Add support for the WHEN clause to the CREATE TRIGGER statement (by Neil Conway) http://www.neilconway.org/talks/hacking/hack_slides.pdf (by Gavin Sherry) https://linux.org.au/conf/2007/att_data/Miniconfs(2f)PostgreSQL/attachments/hacking_intro.pdf Handout: The Implementation of TABLESAMPLE http://www.neilconway.org/talks/hacking/ottawa/ottawa_handout.pdf Handout: Adding WHEN clause to CREATE TRIGGER http://www.neilconway.org/talks/hacking/hack_handout.pdf Some of the details might be dated, because they were written more than 10 years ago, but will definitely get you motivated to dive more into the source code.
