PostgreSQL extensions

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The jooq-postgres-extensions module contains data types, converters, and bindings for the following data types:

  • cidr is for IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
  • citext is "case insensitive text".
  • daterange is a date range type. Depending on the javaTimeTypes configuration, this translates to java.sql.Date or java.time.LocalDate ranges.
  • hstore is a key-value store (i.e. a Map<String, String>).
  • inet is for IPv4 and IPv6 hosts and networks.
  • int4range is a 32 bit integer range type.
  • int8range is a 64 bit integer range type.
  • ltree is a label tree data structure.
  • numrange is a numeric range type.
  • tsrange is a timestamp range type. Depending on the javaTimeTypes configuration, this translates to java.sql.Timestamp or java.time.LocalDateTime ranges.
  • tstzrange is a timestamptz range type.

In order to access these data types, just add the following dependency to your project:

Maven
Gradle (Kotlin)
Gradle (Groovy)
