psql (9.6.0, server 11.3) linux
Hi:
I'm a PG users who has asked our IT team to install pl/perlu on an existing 9.6.0 instance on linux. They really don't know how to approach this. Could someone point me to a good step-by-step (including ptrs to any downloads they may need) ?
Also, when they do this, will it require DB downtime ?
Thanks in Advance !
a) that says your server is running 11.3, not 9.6 (you might want to update your own machine).
b) That really depends on how it was installed.
If they used a normal package repo they'll just want to install the postgresql11-plperl package or equivalent, and then restart PostgreSQL (although I'm not actually sure the restart is required?) and then do a "CREATE EXTENSION plperlu;" in your database.
If they did some kind of custom installation then they might need to just figure it out.
