Bruce Momjian 41f862ba87 As mentioned above, here is my contrib/tablefunc patch. It includes
three functions which exercise the tablefunc API.

show_all_settings()
   - returns the same information as SHOW ALL, but as a query result

normal_rand(int numvals, float8 mean, float8 stddev, int seed)
   - returns a set of normally distributed float8 values
   - This routine implements Algorithm P (Polar method for normal
     deviates) from Knuth's _The_Art_of_Computer_Programming_, Volume 2,
     3rd ed., pages 122-126. Knuth cites his source as "The polar
     method", G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia,
     _Annals_Math,_Stat._ 29 (1958), 610-611.

crosstabN(text sql)
   - returns a set of row_name plus N category value columns
   - crosstab2(), crosstab3(), and crosstab4() are defined for you,
     but you can create additional crosstab functions per directions
     in the README.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers
for JDBC and ODBC.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
