Question:
How can the FastDB performance improvements for Customer Managed Privilege Access Service (PAS) version 19.3 and later, be enabled when the PostgreSQL 9.6 database is also customer managed?
Answer:
The FastDB feature for PAS can be realized when the the PostgreSQL database has the plv8 framework installed. This framework requires the following PostgreSQL extensions:
- plv8 - version 2.X
- ip4r - version 2.X
- postgres_fdw
- dblink
These extensions can be downloaded from the web and installed, by the PostgreSQL database administrator, for the various PostgreSQL supported platforms. The psql client can be used to verify that the extensions are available using the command:
postgres=# select * from pg_extension;
Once the extensions are verified, the PAS FastDB can be enabled by following the steps in KB-11818
