Summary: Constrain format of classname and document Define the format of a valid classname. Updated design doc, function doc and glossary to document format. Error message for case where we have a redefinition of a classname now says why ValueError is raised since we are raising ValueError for incorrect classname format as well. Tests for all cases including verification of cause for ValueError exceptions.

==========================
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 - https://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/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.
