Howto see template objects in PGAdmin3

From
"James B. Byrne"
Date:
PG-9.2
PGAdmin3-1.16.0

I have run into an old problem wherein the postgres user has ownership
of the PSQL language extension in a newly created database.  I wish to
remove this extension from template1 as the database is automatically
recreated on every test run and I am unable to specify template0 to
the test software.

I am attempting to do this from inside PGAdmin3 but I find that I no
longer see either template0 or template1 in the object tree.  Where
are they found?

You first need to check the "Show System Objects in the treeview" in the
Options dialog. Then, they'll be available in the Databases node of the
treeview.

Thank you.  With your help I now can view template1 in PGAdmin3.

I notice that the extension in question, plpgsql, has no owner in
template1 and yet I still receive this error when attempting to build
a new test database from a pgdump:

--
-- PostgreSQL database dump
--

SET statement_timeout =3D 0;
SET client_encoding =3D 'UTF8';
SET standard_conforming_strings =3D on;
SET check_function_bodies =3D false;
SET client_min_messages =3D warning;

--
-- Name: plpgsql; Type: EXTENSION; Schema: -; Owner: -
--

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS plpgsql WITH SCHEMA pg_catalog;


--
-- Name: EXTENSION plpgsql; Type: COMMENT; Schema: -; Owner: -
--

COMMENT ON EXTENSION plpgsql IS 'PL/pgSQL procedural language';

.  .  .

ERROR:  must be owner of extension plpgsql


Is this a bug?

plpgsql is a LANGUAGE, not an extension, I thought?

you use CREATE LANGUAGE to enable it..

Note: As of PostgreSQL 9.1, most procedural languages have been made
into "extensions", and should therefore be installed with CREATE
EXTENSION not CREATE LANGUAGE. Direct use of CREATE LANGUAGE should now
be confined to extension installation scripts. If you have a "bare"
language in your database, perhaps as a result of an upgrade, you can
convert it to an extension using CREATE EXTENSION langname FROM unpackaged.
