Where can I get pldbgapi.sql in order to install the debugger for postgresql?

Question

I am trying to install the debugger for postgresql on Linux so I can use pgAdmin to debug my functions. I\'ve set up my postgresql.conf file. However, I can\'t

Answer 1

This is included with EnterpriseDB distributive. You can download it on pgFoundry. here is a link

Also git repo is available.

git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/pldebugger.git
cd pldebugger
export USE_PGXS=1
make
make install

Edit postgresql.conf

vim /path/to/postgresql.conf

add:

shared_preload_libraries = 'plugin_debugger'

Restart postgres, connect to db and call:

CREATE EXTENSION pldbgapi;

I use it on postgreql 9.5, works well.

Answer 2

Excelent aport, only:

• Edit your postgresql.conf file, and modify the shared_preload_libraries config option to look like:

  shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/plugin_debugger'

• Restart PostgreSQL for the new setting to take effect.

• Run the following command in the database or databases that you wish to debug functions in:

  CREATE EXTENSION pldbgapi;

• Restart PostgreSQL for the new setting to take effect. Finally you can debugg!!

I used in Postgres 9.4

Answer 3

I've found out it works if I run the contents of this file

share\extension\pldbgapi--1.0.sql 

There is also this readme for the extension which mentions a different installation process, I haven't tried it
