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.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
|
|
|
|
|
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
|
|
|
|
|
also build and install them all by running "gmake all" and "gmake
|
|
|
|
|
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
|
|
|
|
|
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
|
|
|
|
|
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
|
|
|
|
|
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
|
|
|
|
|
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
|
|
|
|
|
you can simply do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
