Tom Lane	eda04886c1	Avoid direct cross-module links in hstore_plperl and ltree_plpython, too. ... Just turning the crank on the project started in commit d51924be8. These cases turn out to be exact subsets of the boilerplate needed for hstore_plpython. Discussion: <2652.1475512158@sss.pgh.pa.us>	9 years ago
Tom Lane	5484c0a980	Minor fixes in contrib installation scripts. ... Extension scripts should never use CREATE OR REPLACE for initial object creation. If there is a collision with a pre-existing (probably user-created) object, we want extension installation to fail, not silently overwrite the user's object. Bloom and sslinfo both violated this precept. Also fix a number of scripts that had no standard header (the file name comment and the \echo...\quit guard). Probably the \echo...\quit hack is less important now than it was in 9.1 days, but that doesn't mean that individual extensions get to choose whether to use it or not. And fix a couple of evident copy-and-pasteos in file name comments. No need for back-patch: the REPLACE bugs are both new in 9.6, and the rest of this is pretty much cosmetic.

Tom Lane	fb6fcbd33f	Use LOAD not actual code execution to pull in plpython library. ... Commit 866566a690 is insufficient to prevent dump/reload failures when using transform modules in a database with both plpython2 and plpython3 installed. The reason is that the transform extension scripts use DO blocks as a mechanism to pull in the libpython library before creating the transform function. It's necessary to preload the library because the dynamic loader won't do it for us on every platform, leading to "unresolved symbol" failures when the transform library is loaded. But it's *not* necessary to execute Python code, and doing so will provoke a multiple-Pythons-are-loaded error even after the preceding commit. To fix, use LOAD instead of a DO block. That requires superuser privilege, but creation of a C function does anyway. It also embeds knowledge of the underlying library name for each PL language; but that's wired into the initdb-time contents of pg_pltemplate too, so that doesn't seem like a large problem either. Note that CREATE TRANSFORM as such doesn't call the language module at all. Per a report from Paul Jones. Back-patch to 9.5 where transform modules were introduced.	10 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	cac7658205	Add transforms feature ... This provides a mechanism for specifying conversions between SQL data types and procedural languages. As examples, there are transforms for hstore and ltree for PL/Perl and PL/Python. reviews by Pavel Stěhule and Andres Freund	11 years ago
