Обсуждение: DataBlades
Hello.
Does PostgreSQL support the integration of extension packages like Informix' Datablades, Oracle's Cartridges or IBM's Extenders?
Thanks,
Philip Reimer
If you had your hands on illustra datablades some of
them *may* work with source edits to change the names
of mi_ function calls to the corresponding postgres function calls.
Informix 9 datablades probably would require more significant
rewrites. I don't know about Oracle's or IBM's stuff, but
I seriously doubt it.

Hey, you never know. The DataBlade name may be up for grabs if IBM sticks with "extenders". We *know* the name itself never defined anything specific. PostgreSQL's catchy word for it is "contrib" anyway. elein@nextbus.com and not or At 04:44 PM 4/15/2002 -0400, Tom Lane wrote: > >> Does PostgreSQL support the integration of extension packages like > >> Informix' Datablades, Oracle's Cartridges or IBM's Extenders? > >There's plenty of extensibility in the system ... however, we lack >a catchy name for it ;-) > > regards, tom lane

PostgreSQL can be easily programmed with server-side languages, comparable to Oracle concept of "Cartridges". Available languages are: C language, PLpgSQL (PL language), PLpgPerl (Perl language), PLpython (Python language), PLtcl (TCL language). A java implementation is on the way, but I don't know when it will be released. Does anyone know when it will be released? More information on server-side languages are available from http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?programmer-pl.html Other extensions are available in the Contrib area (ex: pgCrypto) which will give you example how easy PostgreSQL can be extented using C language. Just for information, if you are running Linux or Solaris, it is possible to run bash scripts using PLbash (very easy and powerfull). More information can be found at http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?programmer-server.html. Maybe you should also have a look at pgAdmin2 (http://pgadmin.postgresql.org), PostgreSQL Windows GUI, which provides an integrated developement environment for managing PostgreSQL and writing server-sides scripts. We all come from a closed world with "cartridges", "extensions", "gold" or "silver" packs, "integrated" solutions, "e-commerce", which are concepts for fools. Do not hesitate to test PostgreSQL, which is by far the most advanced open-source database available today and has a large community of users and developpers. Cheers, Jean-Michel POURE
