<para>
<productname>Postgres</productname>,
developed originally in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department,
pioneered many of the object-relational concepts
now becoming available in some commercial databases.
It provides SQL92/SQL99 language support,
transaction integrity, and type extensibility.
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is an
open-source descendant of this original Berkeley code.
The first part of this manual is the description of the client-side
programming interfaces and support libraries for various languages.
The second part explains the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
approach to extensibility and describe how users can extend
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> by adding user-defined types,
operators, aggregates, and both query language and programming
language functions. After a discussion of the
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> rule system, we discuss the
trigger and SPI interfaces.
