>In pgadmins SQL-window SQL is the 'language' of choice. Or it is rather the only language. Thus if you intend to program plTk or PL/pgSQL, there's no way around defining a function.
(At first you have to define a new language in your schema)
I'm a little confused, is there no way around this, or are you saying I need
to use CREATE LANGUAGE to define a new language to use? Currently the only
language I have for the DB is plpgsql.
Yes. You need to install the language into the database using CREATE LANGUAGE and then you can use the language to create functions.
