How do I update the GanosBase plug-ins?

Each GanosBase plug-in is identified by the word Ganos in the description of the Ganos plug-in. To find and update the GanosBase plug-ins that you installed, perform the following steps:

1. Use the PostgreSQL CLI to connect to your RDS instance.

2. Run the \dx command to view all plug-ins that you installed.

   Information similar to the following command output is displayed:

3. View the information about each plug-in in the Description column of the command output to find the GanosBase plug-ins that you want to update.

   Note

   If the description of a plug-in includes the word Ganos, the plug-in is a GanosBase plug-in.

4. Update the Ganos plug-ins.

   • If the Ganos plug-ins are in version 3.1 or later, execute the following statement to update all Ganos plug-ins:

     SELECT ganos_update();

   • If the GanosBase plug-ins are in versions earlier than 3.1, create a function to update all GanosBase plug-ins. The following code snippet is an example:

     CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ganos_update()
         RETURNS text AS
     $$
     DECLARE
         rec RECORD;
         sql text;
     BEGIN
         FOR rec IN
             SELECT extname
             FROM pg_extension
             WHERE extname like 'ganos_%'
             LOOP
                 sql = 'ALTER EXTENSION '
                     || rec.extname
                     || ' UPDATE ';
                 RAISE NOTICE '%', sql;
                 EXECUTE sql;
     
             END LOOP;
     
         return 'All Ganos extensions have updated to latest version';
     
     END
     $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' volatile STRICT;

   Note

   The method of updating the GanosBase plug-ins is different from the method of updating other plug-ins. To update a different plug-in, you can execute the following statement:

   ALTER EXTENSION <Plug-in name> UPDATE;
