PostgreSQL Data Base Management System (formerly known as Postgres, then
as Postgres95).
PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
This directory contains the development version of 7.2 of the
PostgreSQL database server. The server is not 100% ANSI SQL compliant,
but it gets closer with every release. After you unzip and untar the
distribution file, look at file INSTALL for the installation notes and
file HISTORY for the changes.
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 several language
bindings, including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers
for JDBC and ODBC.
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our WWW
home page located at http://www.postgreSQL.org/.
