CYPEX allows users to define ready-to-use PostgreSQL extensions. Those extensions can be integrated into existing applications to simplify the model creation process and to automate as many steps as possible.
The way external extensions are supported is as follows:
CYPEX allows users to define a set of Git repositories which can be used to fetch extensions. It allows you to deploy everything from small SQL fragments and simple procedures all the way up to full-fledged complex data models.
The Repository Applications menu entry allows you to quickly load entire applications from the Git repository.
The search field allows you to search simultaneously in all available repositories. The numbers beside the repository name show how many applications are found, out of the total number of applications.
For each application, several different releases can be installed and uninstalled. That means you may decide whether to use the latest release of the application or not.
It is easy to learn more about the application which has been deployed. CYPEX provides you with metadata concerning your application, as shown in the next image:
- Applications — the generated app once installed.
- Extensions — SQL fragments, not whole apps.
- Storage Repositories — configure the Git repo source.
