- <para>
- <filename>pg.el</filename> is a socket-level interface to
- <productname>Postgres</productname> for emacs (text
- editor extraordinaire). The module is capable of type coercions from a
- range of SQL types to the equivalent Emacs Lisp type. It currently
- supports neither crypt or Kerberos authentication, nor large objects.

- (defun demo ()
- (interactive)
- (let* ((conn (pg:connect "template1" "postgres" "postgres"))
- (res (pg:exec conn "SELECT * from scshdemo WHERE a = 42")))
- (message "status is %s" (pg:result res :status))

- (message "data is %s" (pg:result res :tuples))
- (pg:disconnect conn)))
