Working with extensions

We have so far initialized the database cluster. However, we made quite a few extensions available using the world option. What about them? We can list the installed extensions using the dx (describe extension) command at the psql prompt:

postgres=# \dx
 List of installed extensions
 Name | Version | Schema | Description 
---------+---------+------------+------------------------------
plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
(1 row)

To get a list of available extensions, we can query the pg_available_extensions view, as shown here:

postgres=# SELECT name,comment FROM pg_available_extensions limit 5;
 name | comment 
----------+--------------------------------------------------------------
dblink | connect to other PostgreSQL databases from within a database
isn | data types for international product numbering standards
file_fdw | foreign-data wrapper for flat file access
tsearch2 | compatibility package for pre-8.3 text search functions
unaccent | text search dictionary that removes accents
(5 rows)

Let's try installing one extension and then see the list of installed extensions again:

postgres=# CREATE EXTENSION dblink ;
CREATE EXTENSION
postgres=# \dx
 List of installed extensions
 Name | Version | Schema | Description
---------+---------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------
dblink | 1.1 | public | connect to other PostgreSQL databases from within a database
plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
(2 rows)

The dblink extension has been added to the list of installed extensions. To remove it, just drop it:

postgres=# DROP EXTENSION dblink ;
DROP EXTENSION
postgres=# \dx
 List of installed extensions
 Name | Version | Schema | Description 
---------+---------+------------+------------------------------
plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
(1 row)
