It seems that src/Makefile.shlib has special cases for several
directories that build loadable modules rather than shared libraries.
The contrib/adminpack is one of the special cases, but none of the
other contrib directories are. As a result, they get built as shared
libraries (i.e., as libXXX.so
I am tempted to replace all attempts to build text data on your own (with
VARDATA, VARHDRSZ, etc.) with proper calls to textin/textout in all places
that can't claim to be truly internal (especially all contrib). The
background is that the internal format might change sometime when mo
Projects that are as organized, professional, and value-adding as yours is
can surely stand on their own. I compare this to the recently released
OpenFTS. If we start including projects of this size we'd explode in size
and maintenance overhead.

Over the past few months there've been a number of requests for an
interactive type documentation setup like the folks at php.net have.
Great to add to the documentation, but I hope the PostgreSQL project
doesn't take it so far as to make the primary documentation
interactive. A well-thoug
I'm trying to figure out the SPI and need a bit of help, because the

I am working on designing some new datatypes and could use some

Along with each data item, I must keep additional information about
the scale of measurement. Further, the relevant scales of measurement
fall into a few major families of related scales, so at least a
