As well as a number of other languages ranging from C, C++, Java, PHP. Almost all languages have a "module" to interact with Postgres databases. The best one is IMHO the one you know the best. P.S. The differences between a local Unix socket and a TCP one are rather subtle from your point of view. -- Vincenzo Romano - NotOrAnd.IT Information Technologies -- NON QVIETIS MARIBVS NAVTA PERITVS
