PostgreSQL extensions are powerful add-ons that enhance PostgreSQL’s functionality beyond its core features. They introduce new data types, functions, and operators to the database - usually to support a specific use case.

This rich ecosystem of extensions is available to you out of the box in Nile. No need to install or even run CREATE EXTENSION commands. Just use the extension in your queries. You can experiment with the extensions and try them out in the Nile console, by navigating to the Extensions tab on the left.
