ERROR: pg_duckdb needs to be loaded via shared_preload_libraries HINT: Add pg_duckdb to shared_preload_libraries.

[HenrikPedDK]

What happens?

Hi everyone

Error somes when trying to execute CREATE EXTENSION pg_duckdb; .

Have PG15.

Config file edited:

shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_duckdb'

pg_duck.so is in the shared_library folder

When executing SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'pg_duckdb';
I get 'pg_duckdb "0.1.0" [null] "DuckDB Embedded in Postgres"'

So PG knows about it.

How to troubleshoot?

/Henrik

To Reproduce

CREATE EXTENSION pg_duckdb;

OS:

Ubuntu 22.04

pg_duckdb Version:

0.1.0

Postgres Version:

15

Hardware:

No response

What is the latest build you tested with? If possible, we recommend testing with the latest nightly build.

I have not tested with any build

Did you include all relevant data sets for reproducing the issue?

Yes

Did you include all code required to reproduce the issue?

• Yes, I have

Did you include all relevant configuration (e.g., CPU architecture, Linux distribution) to reproduce the issue?

• Yes, I have

Some ideas on troubleshooting:

1. run SHOW shared_libraries
2. Try restarting postgres

[HenrikPedDK]

1. SHOW shared_libraries

Gives me: ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "shared_libraries"

SQL state: 42704

Show shared_preload_libraries gives me "pg_stat_statements, auto_explain"

[JelteF]

It sounds like further below in the config you have then already set shared_preload_libraries to pg_stat_statements, auto_explain. You'll have to add pg_duckdb to the list there.

[HenrikPedDK]

Hmm. I get your point but seriously i only have one entry (in the screenshot).. I also checked in PG with SHOW config_file; It gives me "/etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf" . Can it load from somewhere else as well?

[JelteF]

There is generally also /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.auto.conf. But it looks like your file is much larger than the screenshot you show. Are you sure it's not all the way at the bottom too?

Thought you'd never ask ;)

# -----------------------------
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.)  Whitespace may be used.  Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line.  The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, run "pg_ctl reload", or execute
# "SELECT pg_reload_conf()".  Some parameters, which are marked below,
# require a server shutdown and restart to take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on".  Some parameters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.

Based on your config there are two places where your this config can be overridden:

1. In the conf.d folder
2. $PGDATA/postgresql.auto.conf and $PGDATA can be found by running SHOW data_directory;

[Leo-XM-Zeng]

1、shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_duckdb'
2、pg_ctl restart
3、CREATE EXTENSION pg_duckdb;

[Leo-XM-Zeng]

1、shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_duckdb' 2、pg_ctl restart 3、CREATE EXTENSION pg_duckdb;

Without the second step, run the following SQL"SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'pg_duckdb';" You can still get information about "pg_duckdb". So you need to restart PG.

Closing this, as it was almost certainly a user error somewhere.
