GIN partial array match for PostgreSQL ====================================== Extension `parray_gin` provides GIN index and operator support for arrays with partial match. Usage ----- Please consult with doc/parray_gin.md for a function and operator reference. On PGXN please click on extension from _Extensions_ section to view reference. Installing extension -------------------- ### Building and installing extension with PGXS C extension are best built and installed using [PGXS](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/extend-pgxs.html). PGXS ensures that make is performed with needed compiler and flags. You only need GNU make and a compiler to build an extension on an almost any UNIX platform (Linux, Solaris, OS X). Compilation: gmake PG_CONFIG=/bin/pg_config Installation (as superuser): gmake PG_CONFIG=/bin/pg_config install PostgreSQL server must be restarted and extension created in particular database as superuser: create extension parray_gin To drop all functions use: drop extension parray_gin cascade To uninstall extension completely you may use this command (as superuser): gmake PG_CONFIG=/bin/pg_config uninstall Project contains SQL tests that can be launched on PostgreSQL with installed extension. Tests are performed on a dynamically created database with a specified user (with the appropriated permissions - create database, for example): gmake PG_CONFIG=/bin/pg_config PGUSER=postgres installcheck ### Installing manually Use this method if you have a precompiled extension and do not want to install this with help of PGXS. Or maybe you just do not have GNU make on a production server. Copy library to the PostgreSQL library directory: cp parray_gin.so `/bin/pg_config --pkglibdir` Copy control file to the extension directory: cp parray_gin.control `/bin/pg_config --sharedir`/extension Copy SQL prototypes file to the extension directory: cp parray_gin--.sql `/bin/pg_config --sharedir`/extension Create an extension by running: create extension parray_gin It creates all the functions and operators. Note that you must restart a server if a previous library was already installed at the same place. To drop all functions use: drop extension parray_gin cascade To uninstall extension just remove files you copied before.
