Tom Lane df4271fedd Improve the method of localizing column names and other fixed strings in psql's \d commands and other uses of printQuery(). Previously we would pass these strings through gettext() and then send them to the server as literals in the SQL query. But the code was not set up to handle doubling of quotes in the strings, causing failure if a translation attempted to use the wrong kind of quote marks, as indeed is now the case for (at least) the French translation of \dFp. Another hazard was that gettext() would translate to whatever encoding was implied by the client's LC_CTYPE setting, which might be different from the client_encoding setting, which would probably cause the server to reject the query as mis-encoded. The new arrangement is to send the untranslated ASCII strings to the server, and do the translations inside printQuery() after the query results come back. Per report from Guillaume Lelarge and subsequent discussion.		2007-12-12 21:41:47 +00:00

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, incomplete list is below:

PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Java - http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/
PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution

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.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
