Plugin Description

  • postgis
    • When postgis is created, the following plugins are created at the same time:

      postgis

      postgis_topology

      fuzzystrmatch

      postgis_tiger_geocoder

      address_standardizer

      address_standardizer_data_us

    • After the postgis plugin is created on the primary DB instance, you need to disconnect the connection from the standby DB instance first and re-establish a connection to update the search_path setting.
    • For PostgreSQL Enhanced Edition DB instances, you need to set empty_is_null to OFF on the console before creating the postgis plugin.
  • earthdistance

    To install the earthdistance plugin, you must install the cube plugin first.

  • cube

    If the earthdistance plugin has been installed, deleting the cube plugin will cause the earthdistance plugin to be unavailable.

  • timescaledb

    The timescaledb plugin does not support the TSL protocol. For mor information, see APIs Not Supported by the timescaledb Plugin.

  • The wal2json plugin is a logical replication plugin. You can directly use it without installing it through control_extension.
