WDBI Postgres Interface

The postgres_dbi.pl file makes it possible to use WDBI to interface to Postgres.

Requirements

You need Perl version 5.004 or later. You will also need to use the DBI DBD::Pg module.

You can find information about Perl at: http://www.perl.com.

Configuration of WDBI

Follow the normal WDBI configuration instructions, with the following exceptions :

• Set $DBI_FILE in the wdbi.conf file to postgres_dbi.pl.

Creating FDF's

Included is also a Postgres version of mkfdf, called postgresfdf, which will produce a working template FDF file given a database and table name.
