========================================
`!pgmp` is a PostgreSQL_ extension to add the GMP_ data types and functions
directly into the database.
.. _PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org
.. _GMP: http://www.gmplib.org
The extension adds the types `mpz` (arbitrary size integers) and `mpq`
(arbitrary precision rationals) to PostgreSQL and exposes to the database all
the functions available in the GMP library for these data types, allowing:
- higher performance arithmetic on integers respect to the `!numeric` data
type
- a rational data type for absolute precision storage and arithmetic
- using specialized functions to deal with prime numbers, random numbers,
factorization directly into the database.
