In Cases
The PostgreSQL Extension Catalog — the one site in this family that is a bespoke data application rather than an OINK site.
pgext.cloud is the PostgreSQL Extension Catalog: search across extensions, package families, dependencies, and the exact PostgreSQL and operating-system combinations each one is available for. It is the boundary case in this library, because it does not run OINK. The catalogue is a hand-written single-page application served as static files, with its own query interface over the extension dataset.
What it demonstrates
- Where a documentation theme stops being the right tool. The primary object here is a queryable dataset, not a tree of pages, so page-per-topic navigation, a sidebar, and a reading shell would all be in the way.
- The counter-example to PG Exporter and pigsty.io, where structured catalogues live inside an OINK site because prose surrounds them.
Use OINK when readers arrive to read; reach for a purpose-built application when they arrive to query. The two can sit side by side in one project and link to each other, as they do here.
