The library itself are just three Prolog files (postgresql.pl, messages.pl and types.pl). They need to be in the same folder. An easy way to install this library in your project is copying that files. Other way is using Git submodules to get this whole folder, and load the postgresql.pl file from there.

Connects to a PostgreSQL server and tries to authenticate using password scheme. This is the only authentication method supported right now. Please, note that this auth method is not the default in some PostgreSQL setups, you changes are needed. If you're running PostgreSQL in Docker, you need to set the environment variable POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD to password.

data(ColumnDescription, Rows) is returned when a query outputs a table (SELECT). ColumnDescription is a list of column names and Rows is a list of a list of each cell value.
