| PackageDescription | additional facilities for PostgreSQL
The PostgreSQL contrib package provides several additional features
for the PostgreSQL database. This version is built to work with the
server package postgresql-8.1. contrib often serves as a testbed for
features before they are adopted into PostgreSQL proper:
.
btree_gist - B-Tree indexing using GiST (Generalised Search Tree)
chkpass - Password type for storing and comparing encrypted passwords
cube - Type for n-dimensional "cubes"
dbf2pg - Inserts the contents of an xBase-style .dbf file into a
PostgreSQL table
dblink - Functions to return results from a remote database
dbmirror - Trigger-based databaase mirroring
earthdistance - Operator for computing the distance (in miles) between
two points on the earth's surface
fti - Full text indexing using triggers
fuzzystrmatch - Functions for fuzzy string comparison (including Soundex)
intagg - Integer aggregator/enumerator
intarray - RD-tree data structure using GiST index
isbn_issn - Type extensions for ISBN (books) and ISSN (serials)
lo - Large Object maintenance
ltree - data types, indexed access methods and queries for data
organized as a tree-like structures.
oid2name - Maps oids to table names
ora2pg - Conversion utility for Oracle database schemas
pg_buffercache - Real time queries on the shared buffer cache
pg_trgm - Determine the similarity of text based on trigram matching
pgbench - A simple program to run a benchmark test
pgcrypto - Cryptographic functions
pgstattuple - Returns the percentage of dead tuples in a table; this
indicates whether a vacuum is required.

its use:
autoinc - A function for implementing AUTOINCREMENT/
IDENTITY
insert_username - function for inserting user names
moddatetime - Update modification timestamps
refint - Functions for implementing referential
integrity (foreign keys). Note that this is
now superseded by built-in referential
integrity.
timetravel - Re-implements in user code the time travel
feature that was removed in 6.3.
tips - Micro HOWTOs
tsearch2 - Searchable text data type supporting indexed access
