PostgreSQL extension for CartoDB

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

Dependencies

• PostgreSQL 9.3+
• [Schema triggers extension] (https://bitbucket.org/malloclabs/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 !

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;
