We’re huge fans of PostgreSQL’s rich extension ecosystem here at Timescale, so, unsurprisingly, we tried to make access to it as simple as possible from our cloud platform user interface. The Timescale console lists all extensions available on your database service and how to enable them.
Installation instructions
And by simple, we mean really simple. You only need to expand any section for the exact instructions on how to enable it.
Search
Looking for a specific extension? Our extension search searches the extension’s name and description to help you find what you’re looking for.
Requests
Can’t find the extension you’re looking for? You can request a new extension from within the console itself.
Hit the Request an extension button and fill out the name and description of the extension you’re looking for. Help us expand our very own PostgreSQL extension ecosystem!
Conclusion
PostgreSQL extensions are a great way to bypass PostgreSQL’s limitations and add new functionality to your database. To learn more about these and other extensions, head here to see what you can do beyond the Postgres basics.
You can choose and enable several PostgreSQL extensions directly in the Timescale console — read our Docs for a full list of the extensions we support. If you want to learn the many other ways we make developers’ lives easier, check out Timescale, our mature cloud database for a fiercer and faster PostgreSQL.
