PostgreSQL is Object-Relational Database Management System. It
|
|
supports almost all SQL constructs, including transactions, subselects,
|
|
and user-defined types and functions. Write-ahead logging (new with
|
|
7.1) means increased performance while retaining data integrity.
|
|
|
|
The OpenBSD PostgreSQL port build produces several packages:
|
|
|
|
* postgresql-${VERSION} - complete package
|
|
Contains all files needed for creating, administering and maintaining
|
|
databases, querying and manipulating data in them, libraries and
|
|
header files for database applications development and man pages.
|
|
|
|
* postgresql-clients-${VERSION} - client-side applications and headers
|
|
Reduced variant of complete package without backend-related files.
|
|
|
|
* postgresql-docs-${VERSION} - documentation
|
|
Additional documentation: FAQs, READMEs; PostgreSQL manuals in
|
|
HTML format: Administrator's Guide, Programmer's Manual, PostgreSQL
|
|
Tutorial and User's Guide and Integrated Documentation package
|
|
contains all the above documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* tcl
|
|
PostgreSQL built with TCL/TK interfaces. Provides TCL/TK language
|
|
interfaces to Postgres backends; includes pgaccess - Postgres
|
|
graphical interactive client. This FLAVOR requires lang/tcl/8.3

|
|
|
|
* odbc
|
|

|
|
package You need to install some driver manager to use it. You
|
|
can use iODBC (intrinsic Open Database Connectivity) driver manager
|
|
can be found in databases/iodbc directory in your OpenBSD ports
|
|
tree.
