PostgreSQL Database Management System
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
|
|
database management system.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
|
|
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
|
|
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
|
|
and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more
|
|
common listed below:
|
|
|
|
C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
|
|
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
|
|
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org

|
|
parties.
