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

This is notes about PostreSQL 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 7.x from <http://www.postgresql.org/>.

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL from
   <http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg>.

   Currently we only support the 1.x interface versions. 2.x is not
   supported.


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. Edit the ``test/test_postgresql.py`` database connection info if
you wish to test against a different database.

The test database will be called "rounduptest".
