Procedural Language, Machine Learning, and Geospatial Extensions

Optional. Use the LightDB-A package manager (gppkg) to install LightDB-A Database extensions such as PL/Java, PL/R, PostGIS, and MADlib, along with their dependencies, across an entire cluster. The package manager also integrates with existing scripts so that any packages are automatically installed on any new hosts introduced into the system following cluster expansion or segment host recovery.

See gppkg for more information, including usage.

Extension packages can be downloaded from the LightDB-A Database page on VMware Tanzu Network. The extension documentation in the LightDB-A Database Reference Guide contains information about installing extension packages and using extensions.

• LightDB-A PL/Java Language Extension

Important If you intend to use an extension package with LightDB-A Database 6 you must install and use a LightDB-A Database extension package (gppkg files and contrib modules) that is built for LightDB-A Database 6. Any custom modules that were used with earlier versions must be rebuilt for use with LightDB-A Database 6.
