semver 0.40.0 ============= [![PGXN version](https://badge.fury.io/pg/semver.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/pg/semver) [![Build Status](https://github.com/theory/pg-semver/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/theory/pg-semver/actions) This library contains a single PostgreSQL extension, a data type called "semver". It's an implementation of the version number format specified by the [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 Specification](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). Installation ------------ To build semver: make make install make installcheck If you encounter an error such as: "Makefile", line 8: Need an operator You need to use GNU make, which may well be installed on your system as `gmake`: gmake gmake install gmake installcheck If you encounter an error such as: make: pg_config: Command not found Be sure that you have `pg_config` installed and in your path. If you used a package management system such as RPM to install PostgreSQL, be sure that the `-devel` package is also installed. If necessary tell the build process where to find it: env PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config make && make installcheck && make install If you encounter an error such as: ERROR: must be owner of database regression You need to run the test suite using a super user, such as the default "postgres" super user: make installcheck PGUSER=postgres Once semver is installed, you can add it to a database. If you're running PostgreSQL 9.1.0 or greater, it's a simple as connecting to a database as a super user and running: CREATE EXTENSION semver; If you've upgraded your cluster to PostgreSQL 9.1 and already had semver installed, you can upgrade it to a properly packaged extension with: CREATE EXTENSION semver FROM unpackaged; For versions of PostgreSQL less than 9.1.0, you'll need to run the installation script: psql -d mydb -f /path/to/pgsql/share/contrib/semver.sql If you want to install semver and all of its supporting objects into a specific schema, use the `PGOPTIONS` environment variable to specify the schema, like so: PGOPTIONS=--search_path=extensions psql -d mydb -f semver.sql Dependencies ------------ The `semver` data type has no dependencies other than PostgreSQL and, for testing, PL/pgSQL.
