The (database postgres*) Modules

Guile-PG is a collection of modules for Guile allowing access to the PostgreSQL RDBMS from Scheme programs.

The low-level module (database postgres) provides an almost one-to-one correspondence with the PostgreSQL libpq C library interface. Other higher-level modules, typically named (database postgres-FOO), provide abstractions and convenience procedures.
