gawk extension linux missing stuff in package manager fedora 36
Hi guys-
I forgot to put a subject and then when I went to correct it failed to put
a subject yet again. Sorry about that.
I installed gawk postgresql extension with my fedora package manager. I'd
like to use create extension.
The package doesn't contain the sql or control file in
/usr/share/pgsql/extensions. It did install .so files though. I ran sudo
dnf repoquery -l package name and looked at the files.
I can't seem to install the extension. I also took a gander at the .tar.gz
file and didn't see an .sql file or control file either.
Is there any way I can get a little help?
I'd love to use gawk with postgresql. I think it is the coolest idea.
thanks for your help,
jim

It's probably this library:
http://gawkextlib.sourceforge.net/pgsql/gawk-pgsql.html
Quote:
This API can be used by either invoking gawk with a command-line
argument of -l pgsql or by inserting @load "pgsql" in your script.
It's not a PostgreSQL server-side extension. It's a client-side
gawk plugin to query a postgres database from inside a gawk
script.
