OpenSCG announces the release of Postgres packaged by BigSQL, a complete and developer-friendly PostgreSQL distribution with a Graphical Installer for Windows and OSX and a powerful command line interface for finding and installing community projects.
The BigSQL Postgres distribution is 100% open source, with no commercial dependencies. Native installers are consistent across Windows, OSX, and Linux, to make it easy for PostgreSQL developers, DBAs, and operations teams to install and configure Postgres 9.5, 9.4, 9.3 & 9.2.
In addition to the PostgreSQL core, the BigSQL package includes more than 20 open source Postgres community projects that make it easier to do development, integration, and management. All BigSQL included components are 100% open source, pre-integrated and tested, and include advanced features from some of the leading Postgres-centric projects today, including:
- Easy to use update and package manager
- Integrated foreign data wrappers:
Oracle, Sybase & SQL Server, Hadoop, and Cassandra
- Integrated stored procedure development languages:
pl/Perl, pl/Python, pl/Java, pl/V8, and pl/Tcl

The pgc command line interface and graphical BigSQL Manager enable users to easily find and download additional PostgreSQL community applications and manage their Postgres servers simply.
