PgSQL/rdkit is a PostgreSQL contribution module, which implements 
*mol* datatype to describe molecules and *fp* datatype for fingerprints,  
basic comparison operations, similarity operation (tanimoto, dice) and  index 
support (using GiST indexing framework).

Compatibility: PostgreSQL 9.1+
 If using PostgreSQL packages from your linux distribution, be sure
 that you have the -devel package installed.

Installation:
if PostgreSQL is installed in a location where CMake is unable to find it,
either set the environment variable PostgreSQL_ROOT or add a
"-DPostgreSQL_ROOT" switch to the cmake command line, pointing to the
PostgreSQL root directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5
Under Linux, if you install PostgreSQL using the RHEL/CentOS RPMs provided by
the PostgreSQL RPM Building Project
(http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php),
PostgreSQL lives under /usr/pgsql-9.x, and the
include files are located under a path that the current FindPostgreSQL.cmake
module is unable to find without a little help. Therefore, you will need to
add a "-DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR" switch pointing to the location of the
"server" include directory. E.g., for PostgreSQL 9.5 the CMake PostgreSQL-
related switches would be:
-DPostgreSQL_ROOT=/usr/pgsql-9.5
-DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/pgsql-9.5/include/server

After building the RDKit, carry out the following steps:
1) Open a shell (CMD under Windows) with administrator privileges
2) Stop the PostgreSQL service:
   "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\bin\pg_ctl.exe" ^
   -N "postgresql-9.5"  -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\data" ^
   -w stop (Windows)
   service postgresql stop (Linux)
   
3) run the "pgsql_install" script:
   
   ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}\Code\PgSQL\rdkit\pgsql_install.bat (Windows)
   sh ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Code/PgSQL/rdkit/pgsql_install.sh (Linux)
   
   which will install rdkit.sql91.in, rdkit--3.4.sql,
   rdkit.control and rdkit.dll into PostgreSQL 
4) Under Windows, make sure that the Boost DLLs against which the RDKit
   is built are in the SYSTEM path, or PostgreSQL will fail to create the
   rdkit extension with a deceptive error message such as:

   ERROR:  could not load library
   "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.5/lib/rdkit.dll":
   The specified module could not be found.
   Under Linux, make sure to add to the .bashrc of the postgres user
   an "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH" directive pointing to any dynamic
   libraries that the postgresql service may need (e.g., Boost or
   PostgreSQL libraries) which are not in the system ldconfig path

5) Start the PostgreSQL service, e.g.:
   "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\bin\pg_ctl.exe" ^
   -N "postgresql-9.5"  -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\data" ^
   -w start (Windows)
   service postgresql start (Linux)

Before running ctest, make sure that your current user has enough
PostgreSQL privileges to carry out the database operations required by
the tests. You might need to set the PGPASSWORD environment variable
in your shell to avoid authentication issues.

To install the rdkit cartridge into the database DB: 
 psql -c 'CREATE EXTENSION rdkit' DB

Uninstall cartridge from database DB:
 psql -c 'DROP EXTENSION rdkit CASCADE' DB

Data types:

Input/output functions for *mol* datatype follow SMILES format.
Input/output functions for *fp* datatype follow bytea format.

It's possible to use implicit cast mol to fp, i.e., mol::fp

Functions:

double tanimoto_sml(mol,mol) - calculates tanimoto similarity
double tanimoto_sml(fp,fp)

double dice_sml(mol,mol)     - calculates dice similarity
double dice_sml(fp,fp)     

bool substruct(mol a, mol b)  - returns TRUE if second argument is a 
                                substructure of the first argument.

size(fp) - calculates length of fingerprint


GUC variables rdkit.tanimoto_threshold, rdkit.dice_threshold should be
defined, see shared_preload_libraries', 'custom_variable_classes' 
instructions in postgresql.conf. Default value for both of them is 0.5. 
We recommend to initialize them via  'shared_preload_libraries'.

Operations:

  mol % mol, fp % fp  - returns TRUE if tanimoto similarity between operands is 
                        lower than rdkit.tanimoto_threshold
  
  mol # mol, fp # fp  - returns TRUE if dice similarity between operands is 
                        lower than rdkit.dice_threshold
 
  mol @> mol          - returns TRUE if left operand contains right one
  mol <@ mol          - returns TRUE if left operand contained in right one
 
  comparison operations ( <, <=, =, >=, > )  were implemented using memcpy()

Indexes:

  Btree and Hash indexes support comparison operations for mol and fp 
  datatypes. 
  Example:  CREATE INDEX molidx ON pgmol (mol);
            CREATE INDEX molidx ON pgmol (fp);

  GiST index over mol supports %,#, @>, <@ operations.
  GiST index over fp supports %,# operations.
  Example:  CREATE INDEX molidx ON pgmol USING gist (mol);


Example:

  See sql/* for examples.
