Thread: extension installation PB

Debian sid - Pg v.9.1.1-3
=========================
Hi list,

I've an old script installing Pg extensions that I modified to fit
from 9.1 paths & file names.
However it throw errors for any extension package, ie:

=# \i /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension/adminpack--1.0.sql
psql:/usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension/adminpack--1.0.sql:12: ERROR:  could not access file "MODULE_PATHNAME": No

psql:/usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension/adminpack--1.0.sql:50: ERROR:  function "pg_logfile_rotate" already exists

What's wrong?

As of 9.1, you cannot run those files via \i. Now there is a simpler
way:

CREATE EXTENSION adminpack;

As of 9.1, extension script files are not meant to be read directly.
They typically will fail, and if you found one that didn't fail,
executing it directly would still be the wrong thing because the
SQL objects wouldn't get bundled into an extension.

Use the CREATE EXTENSION command, instead.
