Ecosystem and Client Compatibility
CedarDB is compatible with the PostgreSQL protocol version 3 and aims to support many PostgreSQL-compatible tools and connectors out of the box. Since CedarDB does not share a codebase with PostgreSQL and we are still in the process of achieving full backend compatibility, not all functionality will work out of the box. This page contains a list of clients, libraries, and other ecosystem components that we have verified to work with CedarDB. This list is by no means exhaustive, and many other tools should work as well.
Supported Clients and Libraries
Through both SQL dialect and backend compatibility, CedarDB works with a wide range of PostgreSQL connectors for end-user tools like Graphana and programming language drivers like JDBC.

Extensions
Because extensions rely heavily on the internal structure of PostgreSQL, and because CedarDB does not share a codebase with PostgreSQL, CedarDB is generally not compatible with PostgreSQL extensions. However, since the functionality provided by extensions complements use cases not covered by raw SQL, we plan to integrate the functionality of the most popular extensions into CedarDB with language and interface compatibility.
pgvector
CedarDB supports vector similarity search with the same interface and behavior as the PosgreSQL extension pgvector. A more detailed description can be found in our vector functionality documentation.
