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 more information, see APIs Not Supported by the timescaledb Plugin.
