Hi Hugh,
That's right. demo is an example of the type of elisp a programmer
would write to access PostgreSQL from Emacs. You can also play around
with it interactively:
ELISP> (setq conn (pg:connect "template1" "postgres" "postgres")) <struct cl ...> ELISP> (setq res (pg:exec conn
"SELECT* from scshdemo WHERE a=42")) <struct cl ...> ELISP> (pg:result res :status) "SELECT"
etc
I intend to get together with someone else who has written some table
browsing stuff for Emacs to produce a browsing interface to PostgreSQL
for the end user, but I haven't had time yet.
