Usage

Sources: README, releases

ddl_historization is a PostgreSQL extension that records database DDL changes in a historization table. The upstream README documents installation via make install, pgxn install ddl_historization, and an AWS RDS path via pg_tle.

Enable logging 

CREATE EXTENSION ddl_historization;

The README describes the extension as using PostgreSQL event triggers to historize DDL changes made in the database.

What upstream currently documents

  • Cluster-local install: make install
  • PGXN install: pgxn install ddl_historization
  • AWS RDS / pg_tle: build pgtle.ddl_historization-0.3.sql with make pgtle
  • Test suite: make test with pgTAP

Release notes worth knowing

  • Release 0.2 is the version requested by this refresh task.
  • Release 0.0.4 says it added functions to start and stop logging.
  • Release 0.0.6 says it added a ddl_history_column table.
  • Release 0.0.7 says it fixed a foreign-key related logging bug.

Caveat

The current upstream README is minimal and does not document the exact SQL signatures for the start/stop logging functions or the schema of the historization tables added in later releases. Keep this stub conservative unless the upstream README or release notes become more explicit.
