Re: [GENERAL] dblink.sql and Linux
It only shows up when you search for it in lowercase. e.g "postgresql", not
"PostgreSQL".
You could also just use sudo-apt get install postgresql-9.1
postgresql-contrib-9.1 ("postgresql" is a meta-package)

[GENERAL] dblink.sql and Linux
I've become a big fan of DBLink lately, but I'm curious where it lives on Linux installations. On my Windows 9.0.0 installation, there's a contrib\dblink.sql file that I just run and everything is setup for me. I have a few Linux installations as well (I think they're all 9.1 though) and there's no dblink.sql file anywhere to be found, nor does the dblink() function exist in any schema out of the box. Is there somewhere to download the installation script, or is there another method to install this support? Thanks!
