PostgreSQL Database Management System

=====================================
4
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
5
database management system.
7
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
8
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
9
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
10
and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings.
12
The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
13
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
14
maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.
16
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
17
PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and
18
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
19
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
20
system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
21
file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the
22
file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
23
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
26
The latest version of this software may be obtained at

ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web
