changed as per discussion on the patches list). This version should be a good bit better. It addresses all the issues pointed out by Neil Conway. Vacuum and Analyze are now handled separately. It now monitors for xid wraparound. The number of database connections and queries has been significantly reduced compared the previous version. I have moved it from bin to contrib. More detail on the changes are in the TODO file. I have not tested the xid wraparound code as I have to let my AthlonXP 1600 run select 1 in a tight loop for approx. two days in order to perform the required 500,000,000 xacts. Matthew T. O'Connor

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.
