<Title>Summary</Title>

<Para>

<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>,

developed originally in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department,

pioneered many of the object-relational concepts

now becoming available in some commercial databases.

It provides SQL92/SQL3 language support,

transaction integrity, and type extensibility.

<ProductName>PostgreSQL</ProductName> is a public-domain, open source descendant

of this original Berkeley code.

<title>Introduction</title>

<para>

This installation procedure makes some assumptions about the desired configuration

and runtime environment for your system. This may be adequate for many installations,

and is almost certainly adequate for a first installation. But you may want to

do an initial installation up to the point of unpacking the source tree

and installing documentation, and then print or browse the

<citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle>.
