-Hello! :)
-
-(Sorry for my english. But if i wrote in portuguese, you wouldn't
- understand nothing. :])
-
-	I found it's the right place to post this. I'm a newcomer in these
-lists. I hope i did it right. :]
-
-<BOREDOM>
-	When i started using SQL, i started with mSQL. I developed a lot
-of useful apps for me and my job with C, mainly because i loved it's
-elegant, simple api. But for a large project i'm doing in these days, i
-thought is was not enough, because it felt a lot of features i started to
-need, like security and subselects. (and it's not free :))
-	So after looking at the options, choose to start again with
-postgres. It offered everything that i needed, and the documentation is
-really good (remember me to thank the one who wrote'em).
-	But for my little apps, i needed to start porting them to libpq.
-After looking at pq's syntax, i found it was better to write a bridge
-between the mSQL api and libpq. I found that rewriting the libmsql.a
-routines that calls libpq would made things much easier. I guess the
-results are quite good right now.
-</BOREDOM>
-
-	Ok. Lets' summarize it:
-
-	mpgsql.c is the bridge. Acting as a wrapper, it's really good,
-since i could run mSQL. But it's not accurate. Some highlights:
-
-	CONS:
-	* It's not well documented 
-		(this post is it's first documentation attempt, in fact);
-	* It doesn't handle field types correctly. I plan to fix it,
-	  if people start doing feedbacks;
-	* It's limited to 10 simultaneous connections. I plan to enhance
-	  this, i'm just figuring out;
-	* I'd like to make it reentrant/thread safe, although i don't
-	  think this could be done without changing the API structure;
-	* Error Management should be better. This is my first priority
-          now;
-	* Some calls are just empty implementations.
-
-	PROS:
-	* the mSQL Monitor runs Okay. :]
-	* It's really cool. :)
-	* Make mSQL-made applications compatible with postgresql just by
-	  changing link options.
-	* Uses postgreSQL. :]
-	* the mSQL API it's far easier to use and understand than libpq.
-          Consider this example:
-
-#include "msql.h"
-
-void main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
-   int sid;
-	
-   sid = msqlConnect(NULL); /* Connects via unix socket */
-
-   if (sid >= 0) {
-      m_result *rlt;
-      m_row *row;
-      msqlSelectDB(sid, "hosts");
-      if (msqlQuery(sid, "select host_id from hosts")) {
-	 rlt = msqlStoreResult();
-         while (row = (m_row*)msqlFetchRow(rlt)) 
-            printf("hostid: %s\n", row[0]);
-         msqlFreeResult(rlt);
-      }
-      msqlClose(sid);
-   }
-}
-
-	I enclose mpgsql.c inside. I'd like to maintain it, and (maybe, am
-i dreaming) make it as part of the pgsql distribution. I guess it doesn't
-depends on me, but mainly on it's acceptance by its users.
-
-	Hm... i forgot: you'll need a msql.h copy, since it's copyrighted
-by Hughes Technologies Pty Ltd. If you haven't it yes, fetch one
-from www.hughes.com.au.
-
-	I would like to catch users ideas. My next goal is to add better
-error handling, and to make it better documented, and try to let relshow
-run through it. :)
