   There are only two client interfaces included in the base
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> distribution:
   </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
      <a class="link" href="libpq.html" title="Chapter 34. libpq — C Library">libpq</a> is included because it is the
      primary C language interface, and because many other client interfaces
      are built on top of it.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
      <a class="link" href="ecpg.html" title="Chapter 36. ECPG — Embedded SQL in C">ECPG</a> is included because it depends on the
      server-side SQL grammar, and is therefore sensitive to changes in
      <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> itself.
     </p></li></ul></div><p>

   All other language interfaces are external projects and are distributed
   separately. A
   <a class="ulink" href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/List_of_drivers" target="_top">list of language interfaces</a>
   is maintained on the PostgreSQL wiki. Note that some of these packages are
   not released under the same license as <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>.
   For more information on each language interface, including licensing terms,
   refer to its website and documentation.
