hi, I need to use the hook feature of planner in postgresql 9.3 to perform a task. I am building postgresql from source. To start with, I wanted to know how to create a hook and attach that shared libray to postgresql. Hence i tried the examples given in " wiki.postgresql.org/images/e/e3/Hooks_in_postgresql.pdf" and " https://github.com/gleu/Hooks-in-PostgreSQL/tree/master/examples/my_client_auth ".
I have copied the "my_client_auth.c" file and Makefile into contrib/client_auth folder. make and make install is working fine. This is the output of make install. /bin/mkdir -p '/home/rajmohan/projects/lib/postgresql' /usr/bin/install -c -m 755 my_client_auth.so '/home/rajmohan/projects/lib/postgresql/' after that i have added shared_preload_libraries = 'my_client_auth' to postgresql.conf Then i added the line ClientAuthentication_hook_type client_auth_hook = NULL; at the top of a file say planner.c in postgresql code and inside a method im checking client_auth_hook value. When i rebuild and run the project, client_auth_hook value is always zero. It seems my_client_auth.so file is not linked properly to my postgresql project. Am i missing any step? how to access methods in my_client_auth.so from postgresql. Kindly help
