PostgreSQL Extension Template

This is a template repository for a PostgreSQL C extension. This repository includes:

• EditorConfig to set C indentation to 4 space tabs, works with all text editors and GitHub.
• GitHub Action to run make installcheck against all supported PostgreSQL server major versions.
• Proper license file that you do not have to worry about.
• ~10 lines boilerplate C code.
• Preprocessor magic to abort compilation against unsupported server versions.
• Regression tests.
• .gitignore compilation and regression test artifacts.
• Makefile for PGXS.

USAGE

This is the simplest possible working extension, you can install it and run regression tests:

git clone [email protected]:cybertec-postgresql/postgresql_extension_template.git your-extension-name
cd your-extension-name
make
make install
make installcheck

At this point everything is pre-configured, just make your edits.
