PostgreSQL 11 Administration Cookbook

Getting ready

If you use pgAdmin, for better control, you need to install the adminpack extension in the destination database by issuing the following command:

CREATE EXTENSION adminpack;

This extension is a part of the additionally supplied modules of PostgreSQL (also known as contrib). It provides several administration functions that pgAdmin (and other tools) can use in order to manage, control, and monitor a Postgres server from a remote location.
