-    2.1) Are there ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL?
+    2.1) What interfaces are available for PostgreSQL?
 
-   There are two ODBC drivers available, PsqlODBC and OpenLink ODBC.
+   The PostgreSQL install includes only the C and embedded C interfaces.
+   All other interfaces are independent projects that are downloaded
+   separately; being separate allows them to have their own release
+   schedule and development teams.
 
-   You can download PsqlODBC from
-   http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php.
-   
-   OpenLink ODBC can be gotten from http://www.openlinksw.com. It works
-   with their standard ODBC client software so you'll have PostgreSQL
-   ODBC available on every client platform they support (Win, Mac, Unix,
-   VMS).
-   
-   They will probably be selling this product to people who need
-   commercial-quality support, but a freeware version will always be
-   available. Please send questions to postgres95@openlink.co.uk.
+   Some programming languages like PHP include an interface to
+   PostgreSQL. Interfaces for languages like Perl, TCL, Python, and many
+   others are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org in the
+   Drivers/Interfaces section and via Internet search.

-    2.4) What languages are able to communicate with PostgreSQL?
-    
-   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)
-     * Embedded C (ecpg)
-     * Java (jdbc)
-     * Python (PyGreSQL)
-     * TCL (libpgtcl)
-       
-   Additional interfaces are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org in
-   the Drivers/Interfaces section.
