public class PostgresDatabase
extends Database

This class is part of the Java Tools (see http://mpii.de/yago-naga/javatools). It is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0) by the YAGO-NAGA team (see http://mpii.de/yago-naga). The class PostgresDatabase implements the Database-interface for a PostgreSQL data base. Make sure that the file "postgresql-version.jdbc3.jar" of the Postgres distribution is in the classpath. When using Eclipse, add the file via Project ->Properties ->JavaBuildPath ->Libraries ->ExternalJARFile.
Example:

     Database d=new PostgresDatabase("user","password");     
     d.queryColumn("SELECT foodname FROM food WHERE origin=\"Italy\"")
     -> [ "Pizza Romana", "Spaghetti alla Bolognese", "Saltimbocca"]
     Database.describe(d.query("SELECT * FROM food WHERE origin=\"Italy\"")
     -> foodname |origin  |calories |
        ------------------------------
        Pizza Rom|Italy   |10000    |
        Spaghetti|Italy   |8000     |
        Saltimboc|Italy   |8000     |        

This class also provides SQL datatypes (extensions of SQLType.java) that behave according to the conventions of Postgres. For example, VARCHAR string literals print inner quotes as doublequotes.
