+MODULE ADVANCED.PY : ADVANCED POSTGRES SQL COMMANDS TUTORIAL
+
+This module is designed for being imported from python prompt
+
+In order to run the samples included here, first create a connection
+using : cnx = advanced.DB(...)
+
+The "..." should be replaced with whatever arguments you need to open an
+existing database. Usually all you need is the name of the database and,
+in fact, if it is the same as your login name, you can leave it empty.
+
+then start the demo with: advanced.demo(cnx)
