如何从头开始连接 PostgreSQL

在哪里获得它-在官方网站上。

对于开发而言，也许不将其安装为服务可能会很方便，而只需使用. 存档包含用于启动和停止服务器的批处理文件。

如何设置它 - 没办法，在一个头盔中使用它就可以使用了。除了 postgres，您可能还需要pgadmin4（或任何其他等效项）。它是一种管理工具，可通过 Web 浏览器运行。那里的设置很简单：

Хост localhost
Пользователь postgres
Пароль пустой
База postgres

客户端库称为libpq

代码示例

* testlibpq.c
 *
 *      Test the C version of libpq, the PostgreSQL frontend library.
