+Welcome to libpqxx, a C++ API to the PostgreSQL database management
+system.
+
+There are many similar libraries for PostgreSQL and for other
+databases, some of them database-independent.  Most of these, however,
+are fairly C-like in their programming style, and fail to take
+advantage of the full power of the C++ language as it has matured
+since the acceptance of the Standard in 1996.  What libpqxx brings you
+is effective use of templates to reduce the inconvenience of dealing
+with type conversions; of standard C++ strings to keep you from having
+to worry about buffer allocation and overflow attacks; of exceptions
+to take the tedious and error-prone plumbing around error handling out
+of your hands; of constructors and destructors to bring resource
+management under control; and even basic object-orientation to give
+you some extra reliability features that would be hard to get with
+most other database interfaces.
