issue2550853 - better error handling and cleanup on some postgres tests by Stuart McGraw. My postgres tests passed both before and after I applied his patch, but the code change seems rational. issue2086536 - back_postgresql: fixing pg_command and prefering psycopg2. Patch done by Philipp Gortan (mephinet). His patch also improves handling of retryable errors. Applied and edited by John Rouillard. Edits included removing support for psycopg1. See: https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/mailman/message/32855027/ for rational for dropping it Again all 137 postgres tests pass.

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.
