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 -

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