Compiling PLV8 with Postgres Plus Advanced Server
PLV8 is a programming language that lets users write stored procedures and triggers in JavaScript and store them in their Postgres database. This allows application programmers to write a lot of their server-side programming in the same language they use to build their web client applications. Fewer languages to learn usually means fewer mistakes and faster time to completion. The extensive language support is one of many reasons why Postgres’ use across the world is increasing lately. The recent addition of document data support with JSON and JSONB data types in PostgreSQL, and in Postgres Plus Advanced Server from EnterpriseDB, is the main reason for the increasing interest in the PL/V8 language extension. Below are the steps you need to compile PLV8 with Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.3/9.4. To get started, here are the prerequisites: 1. A supported version of PostgreSQL or Postgres Plus Advanced Server, such as versions 9.1 and higher. 2. V8 version 3.14.5 3. g++ version
