Create - Extension
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
Use the *Create - Extension* dialog to install a new extension into the current database. Each extension must have a unique name. Before you can use CREATE EXTENSION to load an extension into a database, the extension's supporting files must be installed.
|
|
|
|
The *Create - Extension* dialog allows you to implement options of the CREATE EXTENSION command through the following dialog tabs: *General* and *Definition*. The *SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.
