PostgreSQL Socket

Libraries

The PostgreSQL Socket back-end needs no access to the PostgreSQL C client library, since it communicates directly with the PostgreSQL server using the published frontend/backend protocol, version 2.0. This eases installation and makes it possible to dump CMU CL images containing CLSQL and this backend, contrary to backends which require FFI code.

Initialization

Use

(mk:load-system :clsql-postgresql-socket)
to load the PostgreSQL Socket back-end. The database type for the PostgreSQL Socket back-end is :postgresql-socket.
