PostgreSQL 18beta1: Extensions + Crash Log Collector
Pre-release
Pre-release
This release fixes a bug in the extension search path code. PostgreSQL 18 Beta 1 changed the way the setting works compared to development versions.
- adds support for installing additional extensions
- adds semi-automatic crash reporter:
Checks for crash reports on startup and offers to send them to the developers for analysis.
For testing purposes, I have added two extensions to this release:
- pgsql-http: Adds support for performing HTTP requests directly from PostgreSQL
- plv8: Use JavaScript as a procedural language in functions and stored procedures
These extensions are available as standard macOS installer packages. Double click them, then go through the steps to install them. After installing them, please restart the PostgreSQL server and activate them as usual with CREATE EXTENSION http or CREATE EXTENSION plv8
