  Description     : PGObject - A toolkit integrating intelligent
                    PostgreSQL dbs into Perl objects

PGObject contains the base routines for object management using
discoverable stored procedures in PostgreSQL databases. PGObject
contains only common functionality and support structures, and
low-level API's. Most developers will want to use more functional
modules which add to these functions.

The overall approach here is to provide the basics for a toolkit that
other modules can extend. This is thus intended to be a component for
building integration between PostgreSQL user defined functions and Perl
objects.

Because decisions such as state handling are largely outside of the
scope of this module, this module itself does not do any significant
state handling. Database handles (using DBD::Pg 2.0 or later) must be
passed in on every call. This decision was made in order to allow for
diversity in this area, with the idea that wrapper classes would be
written to implement this.
