Programming language interfaces

Following is a list of some of the popular interfaces used to allow a variety of programming languages to connect to PostgreSQL.

    • > >
  • bash - http://www.psn.co.jp/PostgreSQL/pgbash/index-e.html
    • > >
  • C - The libpq interface is shipped with the source distribution. See the downloads page for more information.

    > Did you ever dream about a single collection of native components that acts the > same way, regardless whether you use database system A or database system B, > regardless whether your development platform is Microsoft Windows or Linux?
