Contents

# 1 Introduction

You may either choose to use the "classic" PyGreSQL interface provided by the pg module or else the DB-API 2.0 compliant interface provided by the pgdb module.

DB-API 2.0 (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
