* How do I get started?

I would like to create a small client on a small
embedded
microprocessor. The device has Ethernet and can
do TCP or UDP with a bit of finesse.
I would like the client to shove events into a
database.
What should I read to get started?
Thanks,
-Mike

The easiest way to go is to use libpq, assuming you can compile it
for your microprocessor.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/libpq.html
If not, you can communicate with PostgreSQL via the frontend/backend
protocol with nothing more than a TCP stream:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/protocol.html
This is a lot more work, but the protocol is not too hard to
implement. There are various open source versions in different
languages which might help you get started.

Mike,
Candidly you would be better off writing a small http proxy service
and talking to that as opposed to a full blown psql client.
