kr4cher Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Hi, I'd like to have the PostgreSQL uuid-ossp extension installed to generate UUIDs. Is it possible to install it? Server: tommyDBs:kr4cher_teamguardkr4cher_teamguard_test Thanks in advance!kr4cher
Luigi123 Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 I don’t think we are able to install that extension on the shared host since you need a paid VPS server if I remember correctly. We had another user from last time that wanted to install this extension like you and apparently, this extension is required to install on a VPS server.
Krydos Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Some extensions are available to be installed on shared hosting, but apparently this one is not available. It's supposed to be included in postgresql-contribs package, which is installed, but it's not in there. It looks like Luigi is correct, you'll need a VPS for this.
kr4cher Posted November 19, 2020 Author Posted November 19, 2020 Okay, then it looks like I have to generate it server-side. Thanks anyway for the feedback!
Krydos Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 While I was creating extensions on someone else's postgresql database I figured out a way to install uuid-ossp. I went ahead and successfully created it on both of your databases for you. Sorry I couldn't figure it out the other day. I was really surprised when it didn't work.
