sql-examples VS pg_tle

If you decide to do this we should put it on database.dev - i'm sure it would be very popular

database.dev fills the same role for PostgreSQL as npm for JavaScript or pip for Python, it enables publishing libraries and applications for repeatable deployment. Our goal is to create an open ecosystem for packaging and discovering SQL.

Supabase just wrapped up their Launch Week 7 with a ton of incredible features. This includes an AI assistant that was added to their premium platform. It is aware of your database design and can help you when creating more complex SQL queries. I'm even more thrilled by their most recent releases of outstanding open source projects, such as the PostgreSQL package manager database.dev. dbdev serves the same purpose for PostgreSQL that npm does for JavaScript. It gives your PostgresSQL database incredibly easy access to packages that give your DB superpowers like full-text search or one-time-only-read data access à la Snapchat. The best thing is that dbdev can load any PostgreSQL instance that has the required fundamental extensions, independent of the Supabase platform. Again, the code is open source. I can't wait to see where this project goes in the future, and I have no doubt that we will soon be able to utilize a lot more fantastic libraries. Like Brandon Roberts puts it:

hi hn!

supabase engineer and author of dbdev here

happy to answer questions

If you're looking for a next step after reading the article, checkout the available packages on https://database.dev

(shameless plug) https://database.dev/olirice/asciiplot is a fun one to play around with if you have some queries that could use optimization

I'm really looking forward to opening dbdev up to community packages in the coming weeks

https://database.dev/ Database for SQL commands - great for backend engineers!

If you - find it useful, please spare a 🌟 at the Github Repo If you - found any issue/bug, create issues is much appreciated. If you - wanted to contribute the SQL scripts, PR is even more welcomed!

Have you tried this in databases with [TLE](https://github.com/aws/pg_tle)s?

I dunno about other hosted Postgres providers, but not on AWS RDS no, as the Python extension is untrusted. Looks like you can use plv8 via pg_tle (Trusted Language Extensions) [1] though.

[1] https://github.com/aws/pg_tle

Partially correct, this doesn't work with RDS as you can't install pgsql-http (a requirement for automatic install). However all the extensions listed are "Trusted Language Extensions for PostgreSQL" which was developed by AWS to enable installing extensions written in "Safe" languages. So I believe the all the extensions listed could bee installed manually.

>pg_idkit to their list of supported extensions

For some of these simpler extensions, we're looking at using AWS's TLE (https://github.com/aws/pg_tle), which would allow user-contributed extensions. If we can pull that off, we'll probably look again at the current set of extensions we offer and then see which ones can be ported to a TLE instead

This is a new thing from AWS: https://github.com/aws/pg_tle. It lets you build extensions that people can use on RDS.

I'm taking those functions from the examples in pg_tle, an extension that helps packaging those functions. The functions calculate the Manhattan and Euclidian distance:
