NAME
       LOAD - load or reload a shared library file


SYNOPSIS
       LOAD ’filename’


DESCRIPTION
       This  command loads a shared library file into the PostgreSQL server’s
       address space. If the file had been loaded  previously,	it  is	first
       unloaded.  This	command	 is  primarily	useful to unload and reload a
       shared library file that has  been  changed  since  the	server	first
       loaded  it.  To make use of the shared library, function(s) in it need
       to be declared using the CREATE FUNCTION [create_function(7)] command.

       The file name is specified in the same way as for shared library names
       in CREATE FUNCTION [create_function(7)]; in particular, one  may	 rely
       on  a  search  path  and	 automatic  addition of the system’s standard
       shared library file name extension.  See	 [XRef	to  XFUNC]  for	 more
       information on this topic.

COMPATIBILITY
       LOAD is a PostgreSQL extension.
