The PostgreSQL contrib tree
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation.
|
|
|
|
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. In these cases, 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.
