I have a FreeBSD-12.1p10 system running postgreSQL-11.8. This is a test
platform for Idempiere. When creating a new client in Idempiere I get this
error message:
** org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: function uuid_generate_v4() does
not exist Hint: No function matches the given name and argument types. You
might need to add explicit type casts. Where: PL/pgSQL function generate_uuid()
line 3 at RETURN
This usually means that the uuid-ossp extension is not active in the database.
However, I previously installed this and psql shows that it is present:
sudo -u postgres psql --dbname=idempiere
psql (11.8)
Type "help" for help.
idempiere=# \dx

(UUIDs)
The owner of the idempiere database is idempiere_dbadmin and this is the user
that is attempting to generate the UUID.

What is the problem?
