Subject: create extension requires superuser?
Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2020 21:26:17 +0000
Message-ID: <158111077755.1088.5569143599421077335@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/sql-createextension.html
Description:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/sql-createextension.html
"For most extensions this means superuser or database owner privileges are
needed"
(this is the same text for version 12, but I haven't tried that version.)
If I create a database, I can't CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
unless I'm superuser. Is this bad documentation or is it just for this
extension?
It should be documented how to tell.
