+   Yes, there are several graphical interfaces to PostgreSQL available.
+   These include PgAccess http://www.pgaccess.com), PgAdmin II
+   (http://www.pgadmin.org, Win32-only), RHDB Admin
+   (http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb/ ) and Rekall (

    We have a nice graphical user interface called PgAccess which can also
    be used as a report generator. The Web page is

-   We also include ecpg, which is an embedded SQL query language

     2.4) What languages are able to communicate with PostgreSQL?
     
-   We have:
+   Most popular programming languages contain an interface to PostgreSQL.
+   Check your programming language's list of extension modules.
+   
+   The following interfaces are included in the PostgreSQL distribution:
      * C (libpq)
-     * C++ (libpq++)
      * Embedded C (ecpg)
      * Java (jdbc)
-     * Perl (DBD::Pg and perl5)
-     * ODBC (odbc)
      * Python (PyGreSQL)
      * TCL (libpgtcl)
-     * C Easy API (libpgeasy)
-     * PHP ('pg_' functions, Pear::DB)
        
-   Additional interfaces are available at
