Issues while installing "sqlj" schema using pljava in postgres 9.3 for windows 7


I am trying to install Postgres 9.3.16 on Windows7 (64 bit operating system). While Installing sqlj schema using pljava and the following command:

java -cp "C:\Softwares\PostgreSQL\9.3\share\pljava\deploy.jar;C:\Softwares\pgJDBC\postgresql-42.0.0.jar" org.postgresql.pljava.deploy.Deployer -install -user postgres -database sampledb -password xyz

I got this JDBC jar from the stackbuilder JDBC driver download.

I got this error while running the above command with command prompt:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: could not load library "C:/Softwares/PostgreSQL/9.3/lib/pljava.dll": The specified module could not be found.

Also my Path variable is :

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\wbem;C:\Softwares\PostgreSQL\9.3\share;C:\Softwares\PostgreSQL\9.3\lib;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Softwares\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin;C:\Program Files

\jdk1.8.0_121\jre

I have used dependency walker and it reports for the following files missing:

 API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL
 API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL
 API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL
 API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL

I have tried to do everything possible but not able to resolve it. However I noticed that Windows uses backslash '\' as Path separator while in the error message the path it is trying to search for, uses forward slash '/' .

Could this be the issue? Can Anyone help me in resolving this?


Solution

  • After struggling for a while, finally it worked with following fix:

    I added my pljava.dll path to my PATH variable i.e.

    C:\Softwares\PostgreSQL\9.3\share in PATH variable.

    Also, I modified and added the following variable in my postgresql.conf:

    dynamic_library_path='C:\Softwares\PostgreSQL\9.3\share\pljava'

    After that my sqlj schema was populated normally.
