We are pleased to announce the first public release of \
[WiltonDB](https://wiltondb.com/)!
WiltonDB is a modified PostgreSQL with a set of [Babelfish \
extensions](https://babelfishpg.org/) packaged for Windows and Linux.
WiltonDB strives to be useable as a drop-in replacement to Microsoft SQL Server. It \
understands MSSQL dialect ([T-SQL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transact-SQL)) and \
can run existing queries and stored procedures for MSSQL client applications. It also \
understands MSSQL wire protocol \
([TDS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabular_Data_Stream)) so applications can use \
the same DB drivers (ADO.NET, ODBC, JDBC) to connect to WiltonDB.
WiltonDB version 3.3 includes PostgreSQL 15.4 [modified for \
Babelfish](https://github.com/babelfish-for-postgresql/postgresql_modified_for_babelfish) \
and "BABEL_3_3_STABLE" branch of [Babelfish \
extensions](https://github.com/babelfish-for-postgresql/babelfish_extensions) \
modified to run on Windows.
PostgreSQL with Babelfish extensions on Windows
-----------------------------------------------
Historically, many client applications for Microsoft SQL Server are developed and run \
in Windows-only environment. Babelfish allows to migrate applications from MSSQL to \
PostgreSQL with fewer code changes. While PostgreSQL itself provides first-class \
support for Windows, Babelfish open-source project does not support Windows at all. \
That makes it harder for application developers to adopt PostgreSQL with Babelfish in \
Windows environment.
WiltonDB adds a number of patches on top of open-source Babelfish to allow it to run \
on Windows. It is distributed as a standard [Windows \
Installer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer) package and can be \
installed side-by-side with MSSQL on the same machine. Detailed instructions about \
the installation and usage on Windows are available in [WiltonDB \
documentation](https://github.com/wiltondb/wiltondb/wiki/Getting-Started).
PostgreSQL with Babelfish extensions in a cloud
-----------------------------------------------
Managed PostgreSQL with Babelfish extensions is [available on AWS \
cloud](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/babelfish/). WiltonDB Software is not \
affiliated with AWS (beyond being a minor contributor to open-source Babelfish). \
Though WiltonDB project would not be possible without the work and dedication of the \
dozens of people who have contributed to creation of Babelfish at AWS and then have \
graciously made it open-source. Everyone involved in the development of Babelfish has \
our gratitude.
