LOAD() SQL Commands LOAD()
NAME
LOAD - load a shared library file
SYNOPSIS
LOAD 'filename'
DESCRIPTION
This command loads a shared library file into the PostgreSQL server's address space. If
the file has been loaded already, the command does nothing. Shared library files that con-
tain C functions are automatically loaded whenever one of their functions is called.
Therefore, an explicit LOAD is usually only needed to load a library that modifies the
server's behavior through ``hooks'' rather than providing a set of functions.
The file name is specified in the same way as for shared library names in CREATE FUNCTION
[create_function(7)]; in particular, one can rely on a search path and automatic addition
of the system's standard shared library file name extension. See in the documentation for
more information on this topic.
Non-superusers can only apply LOAD to library files located in $libdir/plugins/ -- the
specified filename must begin with exactly that string. (It is the database administra-
tor's responsibility to ensure that only ``safe'' libraries are installed there.)
COMPATIBILITY
LOAD is a PostgreSQL extension.
