================== Pg::Simple v. 1.20 ================== NAME Pg::Simple - simple OO interface to PostgreSQL DESCRIPTION Pg::Simple is a very simple interface to PostgreSQL. It is patterned after the DBI interface. Why not use the DBI interface instead? The main reason is that it does not yet support cursors. This module does. When the DBI Postgres interface supports cursors, one should use that instead. This module is designed primarily to ease reading data from a database. All statements are executed within a transaction. DEPENDENCIES You will need the Pg module, as well as PostrgreSQL.
