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.
Packages can be built with additional FLAVORs:
* 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
and x11/tk/8.3 packages.
* odbc
PostgreSQL built with ODBC (Open Data Base Connectivity) driver
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.
* no_locale
Remove LOCALE support. It is included by default.
* no_ssl
Remove SSL/TLS support. It is included by default.
