====== PostgreSQL ======

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]],or Postgres, is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) with an emphasis on extensibility and on standards-compliance.

===== Installing =====

Postgres is currently available from [[http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/system/postgresql/|slackbuilds.org]] and can be installed via that.

===== PHP / Apache Support =====

The official PHP Slackware package currently does not ship with Postgres support. To enable it the source and SlackBuild script for the PHP package should be downloaded from a Slackware mirror and the following ''configure'' options should be added to php.SlackBuild before building:

<code>
  --with-pdo-pgsql=shared
  --with-pgsql=shared
</code>

==== Alternative method ====

''php-pgsql'' could be installed via [[https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/libraries/php-pgsql/|SBo]]

After installing the required modules can be enabled via php.ini
