Heroku hosted PostgreSQL and PLV8

Does anyone know if Heroku is supporting PLV8, yet? I watched a video from RailsConf 2012 where a member of the Heroku team talks here about how to use it with hstore, but I got the feeling this was what they do for internal projects. Google'ing "heroku postgresql plv8" doesn't really turn up much. If someone from the Heroku team sees this, it would be great to post any general timelines when this might be supported.

Solution

  • We do not currently support PLV8, but hstore is fully supported on 9.1 databases and above. To begin using it you can do:

    heroku pg:psql
create extension hstore;

    We do not have an immediate timeline for PLV8, but do hope to be able to support it sometime in the future.
