Bundled modules

These modules ship with WarehousePG. Activate them in each database with CREATE EXTENSION <module_name>, unless the individual reference page specifies a different activation method.

  • auto_explain - Logs execution plans of slow statements automatically.
  • btree_gin - Provides GIN operator classes that implement B-tree equivalent behavior for certain data types.
  • citext - Provides a case-insensitive, multibyte-aware text data type.
  • dblink - Provides connections to other WarehousePG databases.
  • fuzzystrmatch - Determines similarities and differences between strings.
  • gp_array_agg - Implements a parallel array_agg() aggregate function for WarehousePG.
  • gp_check_functions - Provides views to check for orphaned and missing relation files and a user-defined function to move orphaned files.
  • gp_legacy_string_agg - Implements a legacy, single-argument string_agg() aggregate function that was present in WarehousePG 5.
  • gp_parallel_retrieve_cursor - Provides extended cursor functionality to retrieve data, in parallel, directly from WarehousePG segments.
  • gp_percentile_agg - Improves GPORCA performance for ordered-set aggregate functions.
  • gp_pitr - Supports implementing point-in-time recovery for WarehousePG 6.
  • gp_sparse_vector - Implements a data type that uses compressed storage of zeros to make vector computations on floating point numbers faster.
  • gp_subtransaction_overflow - Provides a view and user-defined function for querying suboverflowed backends.
  • greenplum_fdw - Provides a foreign data wrapper for accessing data stored in one or more external WarehousePG clusters.

  • isn - Provides support for international product numbering standards (EAN13, UPC, ISBN, ISMN, ISSN).
  • ltree - Provides data types for representing labels of data stored in a hierarchical tree-like structure.
  • orafce - Provides Oracle SQL compatibility functions.
  • pageinspect - Provides functions for low-level inspection of database page contents. Available to superusers only.
  • pg_cron - Provides a cron-based job scheduler that runs inside the database.
  • pg_trgm - Provides functions and operators for determining the similarity of alphanumeric text based on trigram matching.
  • pgcrypto - Provides cryptographic functions.
  • postgres_fdw - Provides a foreign data wrapper for accessing data stored in an external PostgreSQL or WarehousePG database.
  • sslinfo - Provides information about the SSL certificate of the current client connection.
