2 What is the --PostgreSQL-OCaml---library?
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
This OCaml-library provides an interface to PostgreSQL (tested with version
7.0.2, 7.1.3 and 7.4.1), an efficient and reliable, open source, relational
database. Almost all functionality available through the C-API (libpq) is
replicated in a type-safe way. This library uses objects for representing
database connections and results of queries.
3 How can you use it?
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
The interface is well-documented, and more detailed information on how to
interact with PostgreSQL is available from the PostgreSQL-website (2). The
examples in the examples-directory are mostly very short and comprehensible
and therefore a good way to get started.
