Additional PostgreSQL-related software

Beyond what comes with the PostgreSQL core, the contrib modules, and software available on pgFoundry, there are plenty of other programs that will make PostgreSQL easier and more powerful. These are available from sources all over the internet. There are actually so many available that choosing the right package for a requirement can itself be overwhelming.

Some of the best programs will be highlighted throughout the book, to help provide a short list of the ones you should consider early. This approach, where you get a basic system running and then add additional components as needed, is the standard way large open source projects are built.

It can be difficult for some corporate cultures to adapt to that style, such as ones where any software installation requires everything from approval to a QA cycle. In order to improve the odds of your PostgreSQL installation being successful in such environments, it's important to start introducing this concept early on. Additional programs to add components building on the intentionally slim database core will be needed later, and not all of what's needed will be obvious at the beginning.
