Thread: Addons
Hello,
I can't find a list of addons on the website. I'd like to view the list of addons like pgcrypto and download/install some of them into my installation so I can use some of the functions.
And is there any advanced docs on the PL/PGSQL language like how to manipulate strings (string replace, search, split, etc)
Thanks
David

Unlike something like Perl (or plPerl), something like replace() uses the PostgreSQL function replace() not a language function. See here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/functions.html You can call anything in the above link from plpgsql, directly. Sincerely, Joshua D.

I can't seem to be able to change/add builtin contrib items using the installer after it's been installed already. Is there another way to access those modules and install them manually ?
Thanks
Thanks

There is www.pgfoundry.org and there is the built in contrib. The built
in contrib has the items such as pgcrypto.

The language doesn't :), PostgreSQL does. Unlike something like Perl (or
plPerl), something like replace() uses the PostgreSQL function replace()
not a language function. See here:

There will be installer scripts in $PGDATA/share/ It sounds like you are running Windows so you would be do something like: psql -U postgres database < C:\"Program Files\PostgreSQL\share/contrib/...
