Reading the message that starts this thread I note the problem is
underspecified. We have three properties of the provider:

a. You have superuser priveledges on your database
b. You have a shell where you can compile programs
c. Your provider has instlled the postgresql-contrib package

With either a&b or a&c you're home. However, without a you're stuffed.
What I want to know is: does the situation where you have only c but
not b or a happen often? Because that we *can* do something about. Or
are we dealing primarily with providers where you have none of the
above?

Have a nice day,
