The PostgreSQL contrib tree |
|
|
|
|
--------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This subtree contains tools, modules, and examples that are not |
|
|
|
|
maintained as part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because |
|
|
|
|
they only address a limited audience or are too inelegant to be |
|
|
|
|
sold as an official feature. That, however, does not preclude |
|
|
|
|
their usefulness. |

|
|
This subtree contains utilities, conversion tools, and features that are |
|
|
|
|
not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a |
|
|
|
|
limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source |
|
|
|
|
tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the |
|
|
|
|
module. Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed |
|
|
|
|
with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the |
|
|
|
|
`configure' script in the top-level directory. Some directories |
|
|
|
|
supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. After you |
|
|
|
|
have installed the files you need to register the new entities in |
|
|
|
|
the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql |
|
|
|
|
file. For example, |
|
|
|

|
$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql |
