1 PostgreSQL Round-Robin Extension
2 ================================
4 PostRR (\ˈpōs-tər\) is an extension for the PostgreSQL database management
5 system providing round-robin functionality. It provides additional data
6 types and functions to handle discrete time-series of data and consolidation
7 thereof.
9 For now, the software is in an early and very experimental state.
11 This is free and open source software, licensed under the 2-clause BSD
12 license. See COPYING for details.
14 Prerequisites
15 -------------
17 To compile the PostRR package from source you need:
19 * A build environment: autotools, libtool, C compiler, ...
21 * A POSIX + Single UNIX Specification compatible C library.
23 * asciidoc, xsltproc:
24 The AsciiDoc text document format is used to write the manpages.
26 * PostgreSQL server-side development files
27 (currently tested with PostgreSQL 9.1)
29 Configuring / Compiling / Installing
30 ------------------------------------
32 To configure, build and install PostRR with the default settings, run
33 `./configure && make && make install'. For detailed, generic instructions
34 see INSTALL. For a complete list of configure options and their description,
35 run `./configure --help'.
37 By default, PostRR will be installed into `/opt/postrr'. You can adjust this
38 setting by specifying the `--prefix' configure option - see INSTALL for
39 details. If you pass DESTDIR=<path> to `make install', <path> will be
40 prefixed to all installation directories. This might be useful when creating
41 packages for PostRR.
