Hi,

if you look for Links to PostgreSQL-Software, try the
www.postgresql.de -> Software
I've searched the Internet and wrote a list; not perfectly and complete,
but very many items and the Links should be correct.
Unfortunetally some descriptions are only in german... (If you've some questions,
I can help you)

The main-sections, i used, are:
1. PostgreSQL-Standarddistribution = the Software in the official distribution
2. Erweiterungen für PostgreSQl, außerhalb der Distribution = PostgreSQL-Enhancements outside the distro
3. Software für/for PostgreSQL
4. Projekte mit PostgreSQL = PostgreSQL-projects
4. Weitere Software für PostgreSQL finden = find another PostgreSQL-Software
5. PostgreSQL-Webhosting

I hope, my list is helpful. If something is wrong, please send me corrections...

Bye
Gerald Leppert

difficult to find things (as I recall I previously used to look at the
listing of the additional software on the distribution CD if I wanted to
know what else was out there).

Perhaps 3 sections:

Interfaces/APIs (ODBC, JDBC etc)
Tools (pgAdmin, pgBash etc.)
Application Software

The third section is one I would be interested in. My staff and I are
writing software for PostgreSQL that maybe of use to others, and I'm sure
others must be doing the same (either commercial or open source - in fact if
any has any financial ledgers...). I appreciate that the User Gallery is
(intended as) a listing of what PostgreSQL is being used for/with, but
perhaps a more moderated list of what people can actually download or buy
would attract more potential users.
 

Regards,

Dave.

Beer can be a permanent solution, but only if you have enough of it!
