PostgreSQL semantic versioning extension: pg_text_semver

PGXN version

The pg_text_semver extension offers a semver DOMAIN type based on Postgres' built-in text type that implements the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 Specification.

See the test__pg_text_semver() procedure for examples of how to use the types, operators and functions provides by this extension.

Alternatives to pg_text_semver

An excellent pre-existing alternative to pg_text_semver is the semver extension. semver is written in C and therefore more efficient than pg_text_semver. But, as of March 2, 2023, it treats the parts of the semantic version as 32-bit integers, while the spec prescribes no limitations to the size of each number.

Besides semver (repo name pg-semver, with a dash), there is also the older PG SEMVER (repo name pg_semver, with an underscore). The pg_text_semver author only discovered PG SEMVER after releasing his own extension, and hasn't tried it; something left to do…

Object reference

Routines

Function: pg_text_semver_meta_pgxn()

Returns the JSON meta data that has to go into the META.json file needed for PGXN—PostgreSQL Extension Network—packages.

The Makefile includes a recipe to allow the developer to: make META.json to refresh the meta file with the function's current output, including the default_version.

And indeed, pg_safer_settings can be found on PGXN: https://pgxn.org/dist/pg_safer_settings/

Function return type: jsonb

Function attributes: STABLE

Function: pg_text_semver_readme()

This function utilizes the pg_readme extension to generate a thorough README for this extension, based on the pg_catalog and the COMMENT objects found therein.

Function return type: text

Function-local settings:

  • SET search_path TO public, pg_temp
  • SET pg_readme.include_view_definitions TO true
  • SET pg_readme.include_routine_definitions_like TO {test__%}

Types

The following extra types have been defined besides the implicit composite types of the tables and views in this extension.

Domain: semver

sql CREATE DOMAIN semver AS text CHECK ((VALUE ~ semver_regexp(false)));

Domain: semver_prerelease

sql CREATE DOMAIN semver_prerelease AS text CHECK ((VALUE ~ '^(?:0|[1-9]\d*|\d*[a-zA-Z-][0-9a-zA-Z-]*)(?:\.(?:0|[1-9]\d*|\d*[a-zA-Z-][0-9a-zA-Z-]*))*$'::text));

Composite type: semver_parsed

sql CREATE TYPE semver_parsed AS ( major text, minor text, patch text, prerelease text, build text );
