That makes things a bit more complicated, as the CNPG use case has to set up multiple persistent volumes to persist files put into various directories, notably sharedir and pkglibdir. No, you can also install them into a common directory and mount that one. For example, you install the extension at build time into /tmp/foo/{lib,share/extension}, you package that up as a disk image, mount it at /opt/extensions/myext, and then you can point extension_control_path at /opt/extensions/myext/lib and dynamic_library_path at /opt/extensions/myext/share/extension. >> - The biggest problem is that many extensions set in their control file >> >> module_pathname = '$libdir/foo' >> >> This disables the use of dynamic_library_path, so this whole idea of installing an extension elsewhere won't work that way.

This is for typical extensions hardcoded, and $libdir is resolved by the PostgreSQL server at run time. I see, so that they could be moved and, as long as dynamic_library_path is updated, would still be findable. So back to your original caveat: >>> - The biggest problem is that many extensions set in their control file >>> >>> module_pathname = '$libdir/foo' >>> >>> This disables the use of dynamic_library_path, so this whole idea of installing an extension elsewhere won't work that way. The obvious solution is that extensions change this to just 'foo'. But this will require a lot updating work for many extensions, or a lot of patching by packagers. Yeah, '$libdir/foo' has been the documented way to do it for quite some time, as I recall. Perhaps the behavior of the MODULE_PATHNAME replacement function could be changed to omit $libdir when writing the SQL files? >> Perhaps I misunderstand, but I would like to talk through the implications of a more radical rethinking of extension file location along the lines of the other thread[2] and the RFC I’m working up based on them both[1], especially since there are a few other use cases that inform it. > > I'm aware of that thread, but I think that is looking like a much larger project than what I'm proposing here. Fair enough. Once we get to some consensus on a design there (and I’ve continued to iterate on it elsewhere[1]), I doubt it’d take much to use this patch as the first step toward it.

They are looked up in dynamic_library_path or any hardcoded file name. And also point out that the way to install them is: ``` make install datadir=/else/where/share pkglibdir=/else/where/lib ``` So as long as dynamic_library_path includes /else/where/lib it should work, just as before, no?

The path is only consulted if the specified name does not contain a slash. So if you do LOAD 'foo', the path is consulted, but if you do LOAD '$libdir/foo', it is not.

The problem I'm describing is that most extensions use the latter style, per current recommendation in the documentation. I see; some details here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/xfunc-c.html#XFUNC-C-DYNLOAD And I suppose the `directory` control file variable and `MODULEDIR` make variable make that necessary. Maybe $libdir should be stripped out when installing extensions to work with this patch? Best, David ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 110+ messages in thread

The row pattern common syntax includes two sub + clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal> + and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines + definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a + logical expression, which means it must + return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal> + or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references + and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are + not allowed.

For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal> + defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more + rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that + "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or + more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found, + in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and + aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look + into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or + subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0 + (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not + match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS + NULL too, except count showing 0.
