External Projects PostgreSQL is a complex software project, ! and managing it is difficult. We have found that many enhancements to PostgreSQL can be more ! efficiently developed separately from the core project. Separate ! projects can ! have their own developer teams, email lists, bug tracking, ! and release schedules. While their independence makes ! development easier, it makes users' jobs harder. They have to hunt ! around looking for database enhancements to meet their needs. ! This section describes some of the more popular externally ! developed enhancements and guides you on how to find them. ! Many PostgreSQL-related projects are ! hosted at either ! GBorg ! or pgFoundry. ! There are other PostgreSQL-related projects that are hosted ! elsewhere, but you will have to do an Internet search to find them. --- 1,34 ---- ! PgFoundry and External Projects PostgreSQL is a complex software project, ! and managing the project is difficult. We have found that many enhancements to PostgreSQL can be more ! efficiently developed separately from the core project. ! ! ! ! To help our community with the development of their external projects, ! we have created the PgFoundry. ! PgFoundry is built using the ! GForge software project and is similar to SourceForge in its feature set. If ! you have a PostgreSQL related Open Source project that you would like to ! develop and need project management resources such as mailing lists, forums, ! bug tracking, and CVS, please feel free to create a new project. ! Secondly, many PostgreSQL-related projects are ! still hosted at GBorg. ! GBorg is the original external community developer site, and while it is ! currently closed to new projects in favor of PgFoundry, it still contains ! many active and relevant projects. There are other popular PostgreSQL ! related projects that are hosted independently as well at other community ! sites such as SourceForge. You should ! google if you don't find the project you are looking for. *************** *** 36,46 **** PostgreSQL includes very few interfaces with the base distribution. libpq is packaged because ! it is the primary C interface and many other ! interfaces are built on top of it. ecpg is packaged ! because it is tied to the server-side grammar so is very dependent ! on the database version. All the other interfaces are independent ! projects and must be installed separately. --- 41,50 ---- PostgreSQL includes very few interfaces with the base distribution. libpq is packaged because ! it is the primary dependecy of most interfaces available to PostgreSQL. ! We also package ecpg because it is tied to the ! server-side grammar. All other interfaces, such as PHP, Perl, Python, ! and Ruby, are external projects. *************** *** 52,115 **** This is the most common interface for Windows ! applications. ! ! ! ! ! ! pgjdbc ! ! ! A JDBC interface. ! Npgsql ! .Net interface for more recent ! Windows applications. ! libpqxx ! A newer C++ interface. ! libpq++ ! An older C++ interface. ! pgperl ! A Perl interface with an API similar ! to libpq. ! DBD-Pg ! A Perl interface that uses the ! DBD-standard API. --- 56,112 ---- This is the most common interface for Windows ! applications. Website. !
