| 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. |
