Thread: gawk extension linux missing stuff in package manager fedora 36
Hi guys-
I forgot to put a subject and then when I went to correct it failed to put a subject yet again. Sorry about that.
I installed gawk postgresql extension with my fedora package manager. I'd like to use create extension.
The package doesn't contain the sql or control file in /usr/share/pgsql/extensions. It did install .so files though. I ran sudo dnf repoquery -l package name and looked at the files.
I can't seem to install the extension. I also took a gander at the .tar.gz file and didn't see an .sql file or control file either.
Is there any way I can get a little help?
I'd love to use gawk with postgresql. I think it is the coolest idea.
thanks for your help,
jim

It's probably this library: http://gawkextlib.sourceforge.net/pgsql/gawk-pgsql.html Quote: This API can be used by either invoking gawk with a command-line argument of -l pgsql or by inserting @load "pgsql" in your script. It's not a PostgreSQL server-side extension. It's a client-side gawk plugin to query a postgres database from inside a gawk script.
