LOAD(7) PostgreSQL 9.6.19 Documentation LOAD(7) NAME LOAD - load a shared library file SYNOPSIS LOAD 'filename' DESCRIPTION This command loads a shared library file into the PostgreSQL server's address space. If the file has been loaded already, the command does nothing. Shared library files that contain C functions are automatically loaded whenever one of their functions is called. Therefore, an explicit LOAD is usually only needed to load a library that modifies the server's behavior through "hooks" rather than providing a set of functions. The file name is specified in the same way as for shared library names in CREATE FUNCTION (CREATE_FUNCTION(7)); in particular, one can rely on a search path and automatic addition of the system's standard shared library file name extension. See Section 36.9, "C-Language Functions", in the documentation for more information on this topic. Non-superusers can only apply LOAD to library files located in $libdir/plugins/ -- the specified filename must begin with exactly that string. (It is the database administrator's responsibility to ensure that only "safe" libraries are installed there.) COMPATIBILITY LOAD is a PostgreSQL extension.
