Package: postgresql (7.4.7-6sarge6)

object-relational SQL database management system

PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are: ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion concurrency control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many programming languages are available as well.

This package provides the database server; you need postgresql-client or some other front end to be able to access the server. A package providing ident-server is needed if you want to authenticate remote connections with identd.
