Functions Reference

This chapter describes the RScheme interface to the PostgresQL Data Base Management System (formerly known as Postgres95). The interface (glue) functionality is contained in an RScheme package, pg95, which provides a single module by the same name[1].

Initialization

In order to make use of a PostresQL database, you must establish a connection to it. You may connect to databases on other hosts or on ports other than the default by specifying appropriate keywords to the postgres-connect function.
