Most people handle this with user-defined functions (UDF) written in
PL/PgSQL procedural language.

Try to read The Friendly Manual
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createfunction.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql.html

Don't worry - all Transact-SQL constructs have their equivalent.

Just start rewriting your function and begin asking specific questions
here... People will help.

I would begin with

create or replace function sp_GetUserByID( in_UserId varchar(50), ...)
returns varchar(50)
language plpgsql as $$
declare
...
begin
...
return somevariable;
end;
$$;

HTH,
Filip
