[ADMIN] Unaccent contrib module for PostgreSQL 8

[Daniel Vázquez]

Hi guys,

I read in Unaccent contrib module that's compatible with PostgresSQL 8.4 and
9.x

I know it is by default on PostgreSQL 9.x contrib folder, but how I can
install it on a PostgreSQL 8.4 production running Server??. Unaccent module
is not in postgresql 8.4 contrib folder by default.

Thanks!

Too lazy to check the docs, but IIRC unaccent was added in 9.0.

Yeah, it's only shipped with the standard contrib modules as of 9.0.
If the documentation says it will work with 8.4, that means you could
build the source code against 8.4 header files and it would work.
But you will not find any prepackaged version of unaccent for 8.4 ---
build from source is the only way.
