This OCaml-library provides an interface to PostgreSQL, an efficient and reliable, open source, relational database. Almost all functionality available through the C-API (libpq) is replicated in a type-safe way. This library uses objects for representing database connections and results of queries.

The OCaml-API in file lib/postgresql.mli is well-documented and can be built as HTML with make doc. The API-documentation can also be found online.

More detailed information on how to interact with PostgreSQL is available in the PostgreSQL-documentation. The OCaml-examples in the examples-directory are mostly very short and comprehensible and therefore a good way to get started.

In the case of bugs, feature requests, contributions and similar, please contact the maintainers:

Enjoy!
