Guile-pg


guile-pg is an interface providing access to the PostgreSQL database system from Guile.

You can get the source via HTTP from http://guile-pg.sourceforge.net/guile-pg-0.07.tar.gz or via the sourceforge file realease system from the download page. Unpack the tar file and read the file README.

You can also get access to the latest development sources (unstable) via anonymous CVS.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.guile-pg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/guile-pg login
 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.guile-pg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/guile-pg co core

When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key.

Subsequent updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.

Guile-pg was developed on Linux and has been tested on Solaris 7. It should also be possible to get it to work on other platforms. If you do this please tell me what was necessary so that I can make the changes required.

If you have problems and you've read the README file and don't know what's wrong then you can e-mail me and I will try to help, provided you explain carefully what the problem is. My e-mail address is iang@pobox.com. Alternatively you can request help, make suggestions, report bugs etc. via the mailing list guile-pg-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. Even if you don't subscribe, you can still post to the list, but mention that you aren't subscribed otherwise you may not see replies.

You can see the reference manual in HTML here. It is also available in PostScript and TeX DVI format. You can see the README in plain text here.

The SourceForge project page is http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=2321.

guile-pg is published under the GNU GPL.

There is a mailing list guile-pg-devel@lists.sourceforge.net that you can subscribe to to participate in guile-pg development discussions.


Please report bugs to guile-pg-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

And, because life just shouldn't be too simple, you should look at Alexey Demakov's guile-pgsql module as well. This provides a similar interface, but without the large object support.
