issue2550648 - partial fix for problem in this issue. Ezio Melotti reported that the expression editor allowed the user to generate an expression using retired values. To align the expression editor with the simple dropdown search item, retired values are now removed from the expression editor. Do we really want this though? Supposed a keyword is retired and I want to search for an issue with that retired keyword? Do we have a best policy document that says to remove retired keywords from all places it could possibly be used? It could be argued that the simple search dropdown is wrong and should allow selecting retired values.

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - http://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
