Hi again I just wanted to know for extending the database, is it better to install postgres from a pre-installed package or source. I have installed ubuntu and was trying to install from source. Please give me some opinions.
It depends on what you mean by Extend. If you mean adding contrib modules, custom functions etc... then just make sure that you have all
of postgresql installed... libecpg-dev - development files for ECPG (Embedded PostgreSQL for C) libecpg4 - run-time library for ECPG programs libpq3 - PostgreSQL C client library postgresql - object-relational SQL database management system postgresql-client - front-end programs for PostgreSQL postgresql-dev - development files for libpq (PostgreSQL library) postgresql-doc - documentation for the PostgreSQL database management
