-The PostgreSQL port has a collection of "side orders":
-
-postgresql-doc
- For all of the html documentation
-
-p5-Pg
- A perl5 API for client access to PostgreSQL databases.
-
-postgresql-tcltk
- If you want tcl/tk client support.
-
-postgresql-jdbc
- For Java JDBC support.
-
-postgresql-odbc
- For client access from unix applications using ODBC as access
- method. Not needed to access unix PostgreSQL servers from Win32
- using ODBC. See below.
-
-ruby-postgres, py-PyGreSQL
- For client access to PostgreSQL databases using the ruby & python
- languages.
-
-p5-postgresql-plperl, postgresql-pltcl & postgresql-plruby
- For using perl5, tcl & ruby as procedural languages.
-
-postgresql-contrib
- Lots of contributed utilities, postgresql functions and
- datatypes. There you find autovacuum, pgcrypto and many other cool
- things.
-
-etc etc...
-
-For procedural languages and postgresql functions, please note that
-you might have to update them when updating the server. For example,
-the "elog" method disappeared in postgresql-7.4, so postgresql-contrib
-must be updated along with the server.
-
-If you have many tables and many clients running, consider raising
-kern.maxfiles using sysctl(8), or reconfigure your kernel
-appropriately.
-
-You should vacuum and backup your database regularly. There is a
-periodic script, /usr/local/share/postgresql/502.pgsql, that you may
-find useful.
-
-To allow many simultaneous connections to your PostgreSQL server, you
-should raise the SystemV shared memory limits in your kernel. Here are
-example values for allowing up to 180 clients (tinkering in
-postgresql.conf also needed, of course):
- options SYSVSHM
- options SYSVSEM
- options SYSVMSG
- options SHMMAXPGS=65536
- options SEMMNI=40
- options SEMMNS=240
- options SEMUME=40
- options SEMMNU=120
-
-If you plan to access your PostgreSQL server using ODBC, please
-consider running the SQL script /usr/local/share/postgresql/odbc.sql
-to get the functions required for ODBC compliance.
