This does not preclude their +usefulness. + +User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML +documentation. + +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 "make all" and "make +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; + +See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this +procedure. |
