Description: additional facilities for PostgreSQL
 The PostgreSQL contrib package provides several additional features for
 the PostgreSQL database. contrib often serves as a testbed for features
 before they are adopted into PostgreSQL proper:
 .
  adddepend      - Process databases upgraded from PostgreSQL 7.2 and earlier
                   to add dependency information that 7.3 creates from the
                   start
  array          - Array iterator functions
  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"
  dbase          - 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 database mirroring
  dbsize         - Report filesystem space used by a database
  earthdistance  - Operator for computing the distance (in miles) between
                   two points on the earth's surface
  findoidjoins   - Finds the joins used by oid columns by examining the actual
                   values in the oid columns and row oids.
  fulltextindex  - 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.
  mac            - Maps MAC addresses to manufacture names
  miscutil       - Some utility functions
  mysql          - Conversion utilities for MySQL dumps
  noupdate       - Trigger to prevent updates on single columns
  oid2name       - Maps oids to table names
  oracle         - Conversion utility for Oracle database schemas
  pgbench        - A simple program to run a benchmark test
  pgcrypto       - Cryptographic functions
  pg_dumplo      - Large Object dumper
  pg_logger      - Stdin to syslog gateway
  pgstattuple    - Returns the percentage of dead tuples in a table; this
                   indicates whether a vacuum is required.
  pg_upgrade     - Migrate 7.1 database for initdb without requiring a full
                   dump and reload.  Experimental!
  reindexdb      - Script to destroy and rebuild indexes, thus reclaiming
                   space that vacuum does not reclaim
  retep          - Java utilities for use with JDBC
  rserv          - Database replication (needs package libpgtcl)
  rtree_gist     - R-Tree indexing using Generalised Search Tree algorithms
  seg            - Type representing laboratory measurements as floating-
                   point intervals
  spi            - PostgreSQL Server Programming Interface; 4 examples of
                   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.
  string         - C-like input/output conversion routines for strings
  tablefunc      - C functions which return setof scalar and setof composite
  tips           - Micro HOWTOs
  tsearch        - Searchable text data type supporting indexed access
                   (deprecated, use tsearch2 now)
  tsearch2       - Searchable text data type supporting indexed access
  userlock       - User-level long-term locks
  vacuumlo       - Vacuum deleted large objects
  xml            - Manipulate XML documents in the database
