Introduction

You may either choose to use the “classic” PyGreSQL interface provided by the pg module or else the newer DB-API 2.0 compliant interface provided by the pgdb module.

The following part of the documentation covers only the older pg API.

The pg module handles three types of objects,

• the pgobject, which handles the connection and all the requests to the database,
• the pglarge object, which handles all the accesses to PostgreSQL large objects,
• the pgqueryobject that handles query results

and it provides a convenient wrapper class DB for the pgobject.
