Today, I focused on upgrading my existing PostgreSQL extension to a newer version. In this updated version, I introduced a new function called "complex_add" to enhance the capabilities of the extension. This addition required me to make changes to various files within the extension's structure to ensure they properly incorporated the new function.
Additionally, I updated the version number of the extension to 1.0.1 to reflect the changes made. It is important to keep track of version numbers to ensure users are aware of the latest updates and improvements.
During the upgrade process, I encountered an issue with the META.json file, which caused some unexpected behavior. To resolve this issue, I sought assistance from the knowledgeable community on Stack Overflow. Thanks to their prompt responses and guidance, I was able to rectify the problem and ensure the META.json file accurately reflected the changes in the new version.
Once the necessary modifications were made and all files were in sync with the upgraded extension, I packaged them into a new zip file. This updated package now contains the latest version of the extension, including the newly added "complex_add" function.
With the upgraded extension package ready, I proceeded to upload it to the appropriate platform. By sharing my extension on a platform like PGXN, I aim to make it easily accessible to the PostgreSQL community. Users can now download the updated extension, explore its new features, and benefit from the enhancements it provides.
Overall, the process of upgrading my PostgreSQL extension was a combination of implementing new functionality, ensuring proper file updates, resolving issues, and packaging the updated version. With the successful completion of these tasks, I am excited to share the enhanced extension with the community and receive feedback on its usefulness and effectiveness.
