1. WWW Access

   Hello, I am new to PostgreSQL, and I am trying to learn how to connect
   to the database via a web server.  Is there a Pearl / CGI interface?
   What other options do I have?  
   
   Thank you much,

   	first off, this would be better for the pgsql-interfaces mailing
   list...
   
   	second, check out the src/interfaces directory in the source
   distribution...

   Try typing "perldoc CGI" at your neighborhood command line.
   Then go to www.postgresql.org and get the Pg module.

5. Pg.pm and friends

   Along these lines...
   
   I just moved my website to a provider with Postgres, and they are a bit
   (well, _WAY_) behind the eight ball when it comes to having their Red Hat
   based system fully happening. eg, It took *me* to tell them about the
   "createuser" command and how to answer the prompts. And I had never used
   Postgres before! (mSQL, Sybase, Oracle, MS SQL Server, abd DB2 but not
   Postgres).
   
   Anyway, I'm in a situation now where I'm trying to compile the Pg.pm module
   that I pulled from CPAN, and have run into a couple of snags. One was
   another example of the hosting services trouble in general as they have
   postgres installed in /usr/bin and they didn't have the POSTGRESHOME env
   var defined. I got the Makefile.PL script to find Postgres, and now I'm on
   to the C compile.
   
   Can ya' guess what's missing? Yup... libpq-fe.h and postgres.h probably
   more that I have yet to find out about.
   
   So... is there someplace that I can pull these files without having to pull
   the full source tree, or can I possibly please impose on someone to
   spoonfeed me files as I need them for a day or two? A possible alternative
   is to get the Pg object module from someone who's already compiled it for
   an Intel based ("i686") install of Red Hat 5.0. :)
   
   The support folks at the hosting service, as you may imagine, are not
   really too egar to get involved at this level. Yes, I could move my website
   again, but this would be the third time in two months and I think the
   InterNIC is getting a bit tired of seeing my name on their todo list.
   
   Oh... and yes, I did actually check out this hosting service before I moved
   here. They told me "For SQL access from a *NIX host we have PostgreSQL
   installed and you can have access to it. We have other customers using it
   now". Ummm, that would be why there's (now) only two databases installed on
   the server - mine and template1. ARGH!
   
   
   Thanks all...
