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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
