# PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for Roundup issue tracker.

## Prerequisites

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - https://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

   > http://initd.org/psycopg/

## Running the PostgreSQL unit tests

The user that you’re running the tests as will need to be able to access the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop databases. See the config values in ‘test/db_test_base.py’ about which database connection, name and user will be used.
