The catalog pg_extension stores information about the installed extensions. See Section 36.15 for details about extensions.
Table 50-22. pg_extension Columns
| Name | Type | References | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| oid | oid | Row identifier (hidden attribute; must be explicitly selected) | |
| extname | name | Name of the extension | |
| extowner | oid | pg_authid.oid | Owner of the extension |
| extnamespace | oid | pg_namespace.oid | Schema containing the extension's exported objects |
| extrelocatable | bool | True if extension can be relocated to another schema | |
| extversion | text | Version name for the extension | |
| extconfig | oid[] | pg_class.oid | Array of regclass OIDs for the extension's configuration table(s), or NULL if none |
| extcondition | text[] | Array of WHERE-clause filter conditions for the extension's configuration table(s), or NULL if none |
Note that unlike most catalogs with a "namespace" column, extnamespace is not meant to imply that the extension belongs to that schema. Extension names are never schema-qualified. Rather, extnamespace indicates the schema that contains most or all of the extension's objects. If extrelocatable is true, then this schema must in fact contain all schema-qualifiable objects belonging to the extension.
