Let $V$ be any valuation domain and let $E$ be a subset of the quotient field $K$ of $V$. We study the ring of integer-valued polynomials on $E$, that is, Int$(E,V)=\{f\in K[X]\mid f(E)\subseteq V\}$. We show that, if $E$ is precompact, then Int$(E,V)$ has many properties similar to those of the classical ring Int$(\mathbb Z)$. In particular, Int$(E,V)$ is dense in the ring of continuous functions $\mathcal C(\hat{E},\hat{V})$; each finitely generated ideal of Int$(E,V)$ may be generated by two elements; and finally, Int$(E,V)$ is a Pr\"ufer domain.
Keywords: integer-valued polynomial, valuation domain, Pr\"ufer domain, Stone-Weierstrass theorem, Skolem property, two-generators property
