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.

Attached is a fairly sizeable update to contrib/dblink. I'd love to get review/feedback if anyone is interested and can spend the time. But I'd also love to get this committed and address changes as incremental patches ;-), so if there are no objections, please apply. Below I'll give a synopsis of the changes. More detailed descriptions are now in a new doc directory under contrib/dblink. There is also a new dblink.test.sql file which will give a pretty good overview of the functions and their use.

Per this discussion, here's a patch to implement both levenshtein() and metaphone() in a contrib. There seem to be a fair number of different approaches to both of these algorithms. I used the simplest case for levenshtein which has a cost of 1 for any character insertion, deletion, or substitution. For metaphone, I adapted the same code from CPAN that the PHP folks did. A couple of questions: 1. Does it make sense to fold the soundex contrib together with this one? 2. I was debating trying to add multibyte support to levenshtein (it would make no sense at all for metaphone), but a quick search through the contrib directory found no hits on the word MULTIBYTE. Should worry about adding multibyte support to levenshtein()? Joe Conway

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.
