[GENERAL] Accessiing database from inside of postgresql C function

I'm writing C postgresql module with postgresql functions and want to access the tables from inside (SELECT mostly and maybe INSERT). Is it possible? If yes what API can I use except classic TCP connection (not sure if it's even legal)?

Kind Regards,
Yan

Recommended way is to use SPI:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/spi.html

Aside from that documentation, there are lots of examples to study in the
core code and contrib.
