   <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 class="xref" href="external-interfaces.html#LANGUAGE-INTERFACE-TABLE" title="Table H.1. Externally Maintained Client Interfaces">Table H.1</a> includes a list of
   some of these projects. Note that some of these packages might not be

   information on each language interface, including licensing terms, refer to
   its website and documentation.
