PGXN, the PostgreSQL Extension network, is a central distribution system for open-source PostgreSQL extension libraries. It consists of four basic parts:
-
PGXN Manager: An upload and distribution infrastructure for extension developers.
-
PGXN API: A centralized index and API of distribution metadata.
-
PGXN Search: This site, for searching extensions and perusing their documentation.
-
PGXN Client: A command-line client for downloading, testing, and installing extensions.
I did. I’m David Wheeler, inveterate Perl and PostgreSQL hacker. I love the extensibility of PostgreSQL and have long been a fan of CPAN, the Perl community’s distributed collection of Perl software and documentation. But PostgreSQL’s extensibility is not well-known, and it’s difficult to find the extensions that do exist. I’d like to solve that problem. Care to help?
