Actually this leaves out the case of the SQL schema not consistent with the
library/binary installed, and this is a relatively likely case:
the user has run "make install" but the repack schema was already loaded
from an older version.
repack_all_database can return an error message: in case of any error different
from "missing schema" return the error and keep processing the other databases
instead of printing and stopping the program.
The output of the program is now something like:
$ pg_reorg --all
pg_reorg: reorg database "contrib_regression"
pg_reorg: reorg database "template1" ... skipped: pg_reorg is not installed in the database
Having the SQL on a different numbering scheme is useful to provide an ungrade
path. But pg_repack has no need of such a path as it can be uninstalled with
no problem, so we are not going to provide update script. Hence it's much
easier to have a single version number for everything.
...not the other way around. This allows DROP EXTENSION ... CASCADE to
remove temporary directories, simplifying the cleanup procedure after an
error, and getting rid of the schema on uninstall.
Provide only CREATE EXTENSION support on PG >= 9.1 and only the sql script on
PG < 9.1.
Also dropped the /echo cruft in the extension script: it is broken on pg 9.1
and 9.1.1, and because the script is not installed on versions that don't
support CREATE EXTENSION it is just not terribly useful.
pg_repack doesn't create any object to depend on, so it is always possible drop
it and install a new version instead of upgrading. Creating a robust upgrade
path from loose objects which can be of any version to a target version is
hopelessly brittle, so I'd suggest the user just to drop a previous pg_repack
version and install the new one.
The behaviour of the script is not really predictable if it is run on the
loose objects of pg_reorg >= 1.1.8. So let's be explicit about what version
we expect as starting point.
I've changed lib/Makefile to support CREATE EXTENSION.
In order to work with previeous PostgreSQL version (i.e. < 9.1),
this implementation installs both pg_reorg--1.0.sql and pg_reorg.sql.
This patch lacks regression testcases for CREATE EXTENSION, which I will commit soon.
As far as I can tell, the code already supports these index options, so
put in a small installcheck test exercising these index options and call
it good.
