* Remove support for upgrading extensions from "unpackaged" state.Tom Lane2020-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing objects they're modifying are what they expect. Just attaching such objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them do more than that. We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser privilege to use the FROM option. However, it's fair to ask just what we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts forward. None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days, so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database). And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension style. Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM". Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200213233015.r6rnubcvl4egdh5r@alap3.anarazel.de
* Fix typos in some error messages thrown by extension scripts when fed to psql.Andres Freund2014-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | Some of the many error messages introduced in 458857cc missed 'FROM unpackaged'. Also e016b724 and 45ffeb7e forgot to quote extension version numbers. Backpatch to 9.1, just like 458857cc which introduced the messages. Do so because the error messages thrown when the wrong command is copy & pasted aren't easy to understand.
* Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql.Tom Lane2011-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file, and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo. That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to do it differently now. Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1 ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
* Add KNNGIST support to contrib/btree_gist.Tom Lane2011-03-02
| | | | | | | This extends GiST's support for nearest-neighbor searches to many of the standard data types. Teodor Sigaev
* Fix upgrade of contrib/btree_gist from 9.0.Tom Lane2011-02-17
| | | | | | | The initial version of the update-from-unpackaged script neglected to include the <> operators that were added to the opclasses during 9.1. To make this script produce the same final state as the regular install script, use the same ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY trick as in pg_trgm.
* Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility.Tom Lane2011-02-13
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some buildfarm cycles on it. sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to require a very nonstandard installation process. Dimitri Fontaine and Tom Lane
