How do I update the GanosBase plug-ins?
GanosBase is a spatio-temporal database engine developed by Alibaba Cloud that provides data types, functions, and stored procedures for spatial data processing.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
Access to the PostgreSQL command-line interface (CLI)
A connection to the target database on your ApsaraDB RDS instance
Step 1: Connect and list installed plug-ins
Use the PostgreSQL CLI to connect to your RDS instance, then run the following command to view all installed plug-ins:
\dxExample output:
List of installed extensions
Name | Version | Schema | Description
------------------------------------+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
address_standardizer | 2.5.4 | public | Ganos PostGIS+ address standardizer
address_standardizer_data_us | 2.5.4 | public | Ganos PostGIS+ address standardizer data us
ganos_address_standardizer | 4.1 | public | Used to parse an address into constituent elements. Generally used to support geocoding address normalization step.
ganos_address_standardizer_data_us | 4.1 | public | Address Standardizer US dataset example
ganos_geometry | 4.1 | public | Ganos geometry extension for PostgreSQL
ganos_geometry_sfcgal | 4.1 | public | Ganos geometry SFCGAL functions extension for PostgreSQL
ganos_geometry_topology | 4.1 | topology | Ganos geometry topology spatial types and functions extension for PostgreSQL
ganos_networking | 4.1 | public | Ganos networking extension for PostgreSQL
ganos_spatialref | 4.1 | public | Ganos spatial reference extension for PostgreSQL
ganos_tiger_geocoder | 4.1 | tiger | Ganos tiger geocoder and reverse geocoder
plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
postgis | 2.5.4 | public | Ganos PostGIS+
postgis_sfcgal | 2.5.4 | public | Ganos PostGIS+
postgis_tiger_geocoder | 2.5.4 | public | Ganos PostGIS+ tiger geocoder
postgis_topology | 2.5.4 | public | Ganos PostGIS+ topologyCheck the Description column to identify GanosBase plug-ins. If a plug-in's description includes the word "Ganos", it is a GanosBase plug-in.
Step 2: Update the Ganos plug-ins
The update method depends on the version of your installed Ganos plug-ins.
Version 3.1 or later
Run the built-in update function:
SELECT ganos_update();Versions earlier than 3.1
The ganos_update() function is not built in for these versions. Create it first, then call it:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ganos_update()
RETURNS text AS
$$
DECLARE
rec RECORD;
sql text;
BEGIN
FOR rec IN
SELECT extname
FROM pg_extension
WHERE extname like 'ganos_%'
LOOP
sql = 'ALTER EXTENSION '
|| rec.extname
|| ' UPDATE ';
RAISE NOTICE '%', sql;
EXECUTE sql;
END LOOP;
return 'All Ganos extensions have updated to latest version';
END
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' volatile STRICT;After creating the function, run it:
SELECT ganos_update();The Ganos plug-in update method differs from the standard PostgreSQL extension update command. For non-Ganos plug-ins, use ALTER EXTENSION <plug-in name> UPDATE; instead.
