I use DBD/DBI in perl.
use DBI;
my $dbh =
DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=YourDatabase;host=localhost",'username','passwor
d');
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select * from my_view");
$sth->execute;
my @row;
while (@ row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
print join("\t",@row); #or whatever
}
$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;
I'm sure the other postgres/perl interfaces have similar capabilities.
