It's probably this library:
http://gawkextlib.sourceforge.net/pgsql/gawk-pgsql.html

Quote:
This API can be used by either invoking gawk with a command-line
argument of -l pgsql or by inserting @load "pgsql" in your script.

It's not a PostgreSQL server-side extension. It's a client-side
gawk plugin to query a postgres database from inside a gawk
script.
