Can someone advise me, I have had conflicting reports regarding
postgres having an SQL interface. Does it?
Thanks for your help.

no. postgres uses postquel.
the reason you may have heard conflicting reports is that the
commercialized postgres (available from Montage Software, Inc.)
is an SQL system. on the other hand, Montage is not free. :-)

Could anyone explain why postgres does not supply SQL facility?

you write:

As joseash put it (in my words) there isn't a lot of research interest
there, and to support the complete SQL spec would be a real pain in the b*tt
(correlated sub-queries give me nightmares).

You are right about SQL although not for the reason you list
above. We have actually had a lot of pressure from our users
to support SQL but have not done so simply because there is 0
research value in it. There is a grad student in Georgia who
is currently working on it, but anything he produces will of
course be unsupported by us (we will distribute it in our
"contrib" directory as part of a release).
