Subject: Please add LISP mention on interfaces page
Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 15:13:20 -0400 (EDT)
Message-ID: <200105081913.f48JDKW23838@candle.pha.pa.us> (raw)
Vince, please add a mention of the Emacs LISP interface at:
http://www.chez.com/emarsden/downloads/pg.el
I have attached the SGML which contains more information. I am removing
this file from the SGML docs because we don't ship or support this
package.

<para>
<filename>pg.el</filename> is a socket-level interface to
<productname>Postgres</productname> for emacs (text
editor extraordinaire). The module is capable of type coercions from a
range of SQL types to the equivalent Emacs Lisp type. It currently
supports neither crypt or Kerberos authentication, nor large objects.

Please note that this is a programmer's API, and doesn't provide any
form of user interface. Example:
<programlisting>
(defun demo ()
(interactive)
(let* ((conn (pg:connect "template1" "postgres" "postgres"))
(res (pg:exec conn "SELECT * from scshdemo WHERE a = 42")))
(message "status is %s" (pg:result res :status))
(message "metadata is %s" (pg:result res :attributes))
(message "data is %s" (pg:result res :tuples))
(pg:disconnect conn)))
</programlisting>
