Write SQL functions for PostgreSQL using Perl5 Maintained by:pgsql@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 19 Feb 2012 19:21:33 Also Listed In:perl5 License: not specified in port
PostgreSQL is a sophisticated Object-Relational DBMS, supporting
almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and
user-defined types and functions. It is the most advanced open-source
database available anywhere. Commercial Support is also available.
The original Postgres code was the effort of many graduate students,
undergraduate students, and staff programmers working under the direction of
Professor Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley. In
1995, Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen took on the task of converting the DBMS query
language to SQL and created a new database system which came to known as
Postgres95. Many others contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and
enhancement of the Postgres95 code. As the code improved, and 1995 faded into
memory, PostgreSQL was born.
PostgreSQL development is presently being performed by a team of Internet
developers who are now responsible for all current and future development. The
development team coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@PostgreSQL.ORG).
Support is available from the PostgreSQL developer/user community through the
support mailing list (questions@PostgreSQL.ORG).
PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.

- Replace the p5-postgresql-plperl port with versioned ports. This replaces
the fragile autodetection logic with unambiguous ports, creates packages
that work, and also ensures that each version is tested.
- Take back maintainership; should be maintained together with postgresql-server
- While here, remove p5-prefix; the packages have not had this for years, so we
may as well update the port directories now
