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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
|
|
procedure.
