2014-02-12Rename 'gmake' to 'make' in docs and recommended commandsBruce Momjian
This simplifies the docs and makes it easier to cut/paste command lines.
2012-04-14Update contrib/READMEPeter Eisentraut
Remove lots of outdated information that is duplicated by the better-maintained SGML documentation. In particular, remove the outdated listing of contrib modules. Update the installation instructions to mention CREATE EXTENSION, but don't go into too much detail.
2011-05-31Recode non-ASCII characters in source to UTF-8Peter Eisentraut
For consistency, have all non-ASCII characters from contributors' names in the source be in UTF-8. But remove some other more gratuitous uses of non-ASCII characters.
2011-02-20Add contrib/file_fdw foreign-data wrapper for reading files via COPY.Tom Lane
This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case for the core FDW support. This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option checking code as a separately callable function. The original patch submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty unmaintainable. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro and Tom Lane
2011-01-23sepgsql, an SE-Linux integration for PostgreSQLRobert Haas
This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police - but this gets the basic framework in place. KaiGai Kohei
2011-01-21Clean up pg_test_fsync commit.Tom Lane
Actually rename the program, rather than just claiming we did. Hook it into the build system. Get rid of useless dependency on libpq. Clean up #include list and messy whitespace.

2003-07-24Add tsearch2.Tom Lane
2003-03-20I have updated my pg_autovacuum program (formerly pg_avd, the nameBruce Momjian
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
2002-10-21First step to removing /contrib/retep, with Peter Mount's approval.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-18Add 'adddepend' script to handle pre-7.3 object dependencies.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-02Attached is a fairly sizeable update to contrib/dblink. I'd love to getBruce Momjian
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. Joe Conway
