Note

The postgis_legacy extension is not packaged or supported as an extension by the PostGIS project. Timescale provides the extension package for Managed Service for TimescaleDB.

You can request an extension not on the list by contacting Support. In your request, specify the database service and user database where you want to use the extension.

Untrusted language extensions are not supported. This restriction preserves our ability to offer the highest possible service level. An example of an untrusted language extension is plpythonu.
