<p>You may either choose to use the “classic” PyGreSQL interface provided by
the <a class="reference internal" href="../pg/index.html#module-pg" title="pg"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pg</span></code></a> module or else the newer DB-API 2.0 compliant interface

<p>The following part of the documentation covers only the newer <a class="reference internal" href="index.html#module-pgdb" title="pgdb"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pgdb</span></code></a> API.</p>
<p><strong>DB-API 2.0</strong> (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 authoritative programming information for the DB-API is <span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="pep reference external" href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249"><strong>PEP 0249</strong></a>.</p>
