| 5 | +database management system. |

| 7 | +PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system |
| 8 | +that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including |
| 9 | +transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types |
| 10 | +and functions. This distribution also contains several language |
| 11 | +bindings, including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers |
| 12 | +for JDBC and ODBC. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install |
| 15 | +PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and |
| 16 | +hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other |
| 17 | +software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL |
| 18 | +system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the |
| 19 | +file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the |
| 20 | +file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this |
| 21 | +distribution; it can be read as described in the installation |
| 22 | +instructions. |
