In a recent article titled Inline Extensions we detailed the problem of how to distribute an extension’s package to a remote server without having access to its file system at all. The solution to that problem is non trivial, let’s say. But thanks to the awesome PostgreSQL Community we finaly have some practical ideas on how to address the problem as discussed on pgsql-hackers, our development mailing list.
*PostgreSQL is first an Awesome Community* The solution we talked about is to use templates, and so I’ve been working on a patch to bring templates for extensions to PostgreSQL.
