cartodb-postgresql ================== [![Build Status](http://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/cartodb-postgresql.png)] (http://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/cartodb-postgresql) PostgreSQL extension for CartoDB See https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb/wiki/CartoDB-PostgreSQL-extension Dependencies ------------ * PostgreSQL 9.3+ (with plpythonu extension) * [PostGIS extension](http://postgis.net) * [Schema triggers extension] (https://bitbucket.org/malloclabs/pg_schema_triggers) (or [fork](https://github.com/CartoDB/pg_schema_triggers)) 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: ```sql 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. ```sql 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. ```sql 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: ```sh 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: ```sh 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".
