Introduction
============
You may either choose to use the
`"classic" PyGreSQL interface <pg.html>`_
provided by the `pg` module or else the
`DB-API 2.0 compliant interface <pgdb.html>`_
provided by the `pgdb` module.
`DB-API 2.0 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/>`_
(Python Database API Specification v2.0)
is a specification for connecting to databases (not only PostGreSQL)
from Python that has been developed by the Python DB-SIG in 1999.
The following documentation covers only the newer `pgdb` API.
The authoritative programming information for the DB-API is availabe at
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/
A tutorial-like introduction to the DB-API can be found at
http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue49/2605.html
The pgdb module

.. note:: This section of the documentation still needs to be written.
