Tom Lane 4e086f7cb5 Dept. of second thoughts: rejigger the TRUNCATE ... CASCADE patch so that
relations are still checked for permissions etc as soon as they are
opened.  The original form of the patch could hold exclusive lock for a
long time on relations that the user doesn't even have permissions to
access, let alone truncate.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short but not complete list is below:

pl/c - Included in PostgreSQL core 
plPgsql - Included in PostgreSQL core - Similar to Oracle PL/sql
plPerl - Included in PostgreSQL core
plPHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
plPython - Included in PostgreSQL core
plJava - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
plTcl - Included in PostgreSQL core

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
