PostgreSQL jQuery error in the PostgreSQL logs

[Mikael S]

Good morning,

In the database logs, I came across this

Code: Select all

You don't mention the need to install the postgresql-15-jsquery package under bookworm in the wiki. Or perhaps it's on a different page than https://www.wapt.fr/en/doc/wapt-server- ... er-install

Hi Mickael,

the jQuery extension is no longer necessary for WAPT itself. And on a fresh install, the postconf script only installs it if it's available on the system. But it's true that it can cause problems on a backup restore or server reinstall. This extension can be used in SQL/JSON queries.

I'll check with the team to see if we can add it back to the documentation during installation or if we can find a better way to clean this up during an upgrade.

Regards,

Denis
