The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains tools, modules, and examples that are not
maintained as part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
they only address a limited audience or are too inelegant to be
sold as an official feature. That, however, does not preclude
their usefulness.
This subtree contains utilities, conversion tools, and 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,
module. Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with
