Does PostgreSQL OA extended procedure ? or any equivalent objects?

Looking here:

The answer is no.

Hi,

This is not bug. Postgres doesn't supports COM objects, because it is
multiplatform project, and COM objects are +/- MS platform only technology.

Postgres has own API that can be used for extensions -
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/server-programming.html

When you have knowledge of C programming, then you can use it. If not, then
you can use Python or Perl interface.

Thank you for your prompt response,
