Currently, Database Lab Engine fully supports the following PostgreSQL major versions:

• 9.6 (released: 2016-09-29; EOL: 2021-11-11)
• 10 (released: 2017-10-05; EOL: 2022-11-10)
• 11 (released: 2018-10-18; EOL: 2023-11-09)
• 12 (released: 2019-10-03; EOL: 2024-11-14)

• 14 (released: 2021-09-31; EOL: 2026-11-12)

By default, version 14 is used: postgresai/extended-postgres:14.

The images are published in Docker Hub.

Extensions included by default

By default, the Database Lab Engine uses the extended Postgres.ai Docker images built on top of the official Docker images for PostgreSQL. It is easy to change the images – see the options named dockerImage in various sections of the Database Lab Engine configuration.

• pg_auth_mon (only for versions 9.6-12)
• PoWA (only for versions 9.6-12)
• pg_hint_plan (only for versions 9.6-13)
• Timescale (only for versions 9.6-13)
• Citus
• HypoPG
• pg_cron
• pg_qualstats
• pg_repack
• pg_show_plans
• pg_stat_kcache
• pg_wait_sampling
• pg_timetable
• pgextwlist
• hll
• topn
• postgresql_anonymizer
• set_user

How to add more extensions

There are two options:

1. Adjust Dockerfile and build your own Docker image: https://gitlab.com/postgres-ai/custom-images
2. Ask the Postgres.ai team for help – building custom Docker images is included in support contracts. Contact: [email protected]
