Enabling or Disabling a Plug-in

Precautions

• The plug-in extension enabling or disabling requests can be submitted repeatedly.
• A single extension can be enabled or disabled for multiple user databases.
• When enabling plug-in extensions, enable postgis first and then the other extensions.

Constraints

• If the instance or node status is abnormal, the plug-in cannot be enabled or disabled.
• Before using the PostGIS plug-in, check whether the values of enable_default_ustore_table and forbid_public_funcname_same_with_sysfunc are off. If their values are on, the plug-in cannot be used. You can change the parameter value to off on the console. For details, see Modifying GaussDB Instance Parameters.
