Hi,
Could anyone please tell me what is unsecure postgres languages(like C,
pgperl, pgpython??). How to disable them or restrict them only for super
user?

They are already restricted for the super user because of their "insecure" nature. That means those languages allow you full access
to the system (and even some innards of postgresql) with the rights
of the postgresql process. You can remove the language handlers:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-droplang.html

If you wish. Apart from that there is no more risk attached to them
unless you are super user or write insecure functions with them
then say with the copy command.
