RFC: new extensions

[kiwicopple]

Possible new extensions:

• is_jsonb_valid: Vote for Postgres extensions supabase#679 (comment)
• IP4R: Vote for Postgres extensions supabase#679 (comment)
• https://github.com/postgrespro/rum RUM provided a enhanced GIN Index for common search function
• https://github.com/amutu/zhparser zhparser is a PostgreSQL extension for full-text search of Chinese language
• pgRouting Vote for Postgres extensions supabase#679 (comment)
• https://github.com/iCyberon/pg_hashids for obscuring ids
• supascript: https://github.com/burggraf/SupaScript

My current thoughts:

• We should do pgRouting now, since we want to be useful for mapping services in the future
• we should add a bunch of extensions around text search + dictionaries - great differentiator
• supascript could be useful

Do you have any plans to include pglogical. From whatever little I know, it looks like it may bring in some more flexibility to supabase realtime in terms of filtering logical replication etc.

Hi @bhvngt! 👋

No plans at the moment but it could always be a possibility down the road. For now, could you help me add it to the list here? We keep track and consolidate all of our extension requests on this discussion page.

Thanks!
