[Build Status] (http://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/cartodb-postgresql)

PostgreSQL extension for CartoDB

See https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb/wiki/CartoDB-PostgreSQL-extension

Dependencies

Install

make all install

Test installation

make installcheck

NOTE: if test_ddl_triggers fails it's likely due to an incomplete installation of schema_triggers: you need to add schema_triggers.so to the shared_preload_libraries setting in postgresql.conf !

NOTE: you need to run the installcheck as a superuser, use PGUSER env variable if needed, like: PGUSER=postgres make installcheck

Enable database

In a database that needs to be turned into a "cartodb" user database, run:

CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION schema_triggers;
CREATE EXTENSION cartodb;

Migrate existing cartodb database

When upgrading an existing cartodb user database, the cartodb extension can be migrated from the "unpackaged" version. The procedure will copy the data from public.CDB_TableMetada to cartodb.CDB_TableMetadata, re-cartodbfy all tables using old functions in triggers and drop the cartodb functions from the 'public' schema. All new cartodb objects will be in the "cartodb" schema.

CREATE EXTENSION postgis FROM unpackaged;
CREATE EXTENSION schema_triggers;
CREATE EXTENSION cartodb FROM unpackaged;

Update cartodb extension

Updating the version of cartodb extension installed in a database is done using ALTER EXTENSION.

ALTER EXTENSION cartodb UPDATE TO '0.1.1';

The target version needs to be installed on the system first (see Install section).

If the "TO 'x.y.z'" part is omitted, the extension will be updated to the latest installed version, which you can find with the following command:

grep default_version `pg_config --sharedir`/extension/cartodb.control

Updates are performed by PostgreSQL by loading one or more migration scripts as needed to go from the installed version S to the target version T. All migration scripts are in the "extension" directory of PostgreSQL:

ls `pg_config --sharedir`/extension/cartodb*

During development the cartodb extension version doesn't change with every commit, so testing latest change requires special steps documented in the CONTRIBUTING document, under "Testing changes live".
