pg_analytics
The pg_analytics
extension powers ParadeDB’s ingest API.
This guide explains how to install pg_analytics
inside an existing PostgreSQL database. These
instructions are for deploying on Linux Debian/Ubuntu. If you are using a different version of Linux, please
contact us.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have superuser access to the Postgres database.
Install pg_analytics
ParadeDB provides prebuilt binaries for the pg_analytics
extension on Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 for Postgres 14, 15 and 16 on both amd64 (x86_64) and arm64. They can be found in GitHub Releases. If you
are using a different version of Postgres or a different operating system, you will need to build the extension from source.
Using Prebuilt Binaries
Note: You can replace v0.1.4
with the pg_analytics
version you wish to install, and 16
with the version of Postgres you are using.
Building from Source
Please follow these instructions.
Update postgresql.conf
Next, add pg_analytics
to shared_preload_libraries
in postgresql.conf
.
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_analytics'
Reload your PostgreSQL server for these changes to take effect.
Load the Extension
Once the extension binary is installed on your system, connect to your Postgres database via your client of choice (e.g. psql
) and run the following command:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_analytics;
That’s it! For next steps, follow the quickstart guide.
