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 ! search the web if you don't find the project you are looking for. ! Externally Developed Interfaces interfaces ! PostgreSQL includes very few interfaces ! with the base distribution. libpq is packaged because ! it is the primary C interface and many other interfaces ! are build on top of it. ecpg is also packaged because it is ! tied to the server-side grammar so is very dependent on the database ! version. All the other interfaces, such as ODBC, Java, Perl, Python, and ! others, are external projects and must be installed separately. ! ! ! ! Some of the more popular interfaces are: ! ! ! ! psqlODBC ! ! ! This is the most common interface for Windows ! applications. Website. ! ! ! ! ! ! ODBCng ! ! ! Another ODBC driver for PostgreSQL. !
