postgres-xc 1.1-1 source package in Ubuntu

 This package contains the precompiler ECPG (Embedded
 PostgreSQL for C) for parsing Postgres-XC syntax.
 .
 Postgres-XC is a write-scalable, synchronous multi-master, transparent
 PostgreSQL cluster.
 .
 Install this package if you want to write C programs with SQL statements
 embedded in them (rather than run by an external process).

 Write-scalable means Postgres-XC can be configured with as many
 database servers as you want and handle many more writes (updating SQL
 statements) compared to what a single database server can not do.
 .
 Multi-master means you can have more than one database server that
 clients connect to which provide a single, consistent cluster-wide view
 of the database.
 .
 Synchronous means any database update from any database server is
 immediately visible to any other transactions running on different
 masters.
 .
 Transparent means you (and your applications) do not have to worry
 about how your data is stored in more than one database servers
 internally.
 .
 You can configure Postgres-XC to run on multiple servers. Your data is
 stored in a distributed way, that is, partitioned or replicated, as
 chosen by you for each table. When you issue queries, Postgres-XC
 determines where the target data is stored and issues corresponding
 queries to servers containing the target data.

 This package contains client and administrative programs for
 Postgres-XC: these are the interactive terminal client psql and
 programs for creating and removing users and databases.
 .
 This is the client package for Postgres-XC. If you install
 Postgres-XC on a standalone machine, you need the server package
 postgres-xc, too. On a network, you can install this package on
 many client machines, while the server package may be installed on
 only one machine.

 The Postgres-XC contrib package provides several additional features
 for the Postgres-XC database. contrib often serves as a testbed for
 features before they are adopted into PostgreSQL proper:
 .
  adminpack - File and log manipulation routines, used by pgAdmin
  btree_gist - B-Tree indexing using GiST (Generalised Search Tree)
  chkpass - An auto-encrypted password datatype
  cube - Multidimensional-cube datatype (GiST indexing example)
  dblink - Functions to return results from a remote database
  earthdistance - Operator for computing the distance (in miles) between
                   two points on the earth's surface
  fuzzystrmatch - Levenshtein, metaphone, and soundex fuzzy string matching
  hstore - Store (key, value) pairs
  intagg - Integer aggregator/enumerator
  _int - Index support for arrays of int4, using GiST (benchmark
                   needs the libdbd-pg-perl package)
  isn - type extensions for ISBN, ISSN, ISMN, EAN13 product numbers
  lo - Large Object maintenance
  ltree - Tree-like data structures
  oid2name - Maps OIDs to table names
  pageinspect - Inspection of database pages
  passwordcheck - Simple password strength checker
  pg_buffercache - Real time queries on the shared buffer cache
  pg_freespacemap- Displays the contents of the free space map (FSM)
  pg_trgm - Determine the similarity of text based on trigram matching
  pg_standby - Create a warm stand-by server
  pgbench - TPC-B like benchmark
  pgcrypto - Cryptographic functions
  pgrowlocks - A function to return row locking information
  pgstattuple - Returns the percentage of dead tuples in a table; this
                   indicates whether a vacuum is required.
  seg - Confidence-interval datatype (GiST indexing example)
  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.
  tablefunc - examples of functions returning tables
  uuid-ossp - UUID generation functions
  vacuumlo - Remove orphaned large objects

 This package also contains the Makefiles necessary for building add-on
 modules of Postgres-XC, which would otherwise have to be built in the
 Postgres-XC source-code tree.
