cannot create extension without superuser role

Question

I\'m trying to run unit tests in Django, and it creates a new database. The database has postgis extensions and when I regularly create the database, I use \"CREATE ExTENSIO

Answer 1

A safe way to do this without delegating superuser privileges would be to access the database in which we are executing the query with a user with a superuser role such as postgres.

$ sudo -u postgres psql 

#= CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS ;

This way you don't expose security and you can believe the extension in the db.
