pg_perishable

An extension for auto-removal of the table data. The worker is auto-started; it survives:

• restarts
• crashes (provided that the Postgres process is rerstarted by the likes of supervisor)
• redeploys (shared_preload_libraries must be preserved in your deployment config)
• and b0mb!ng of the data-center

One time set up is required; no manual start_worker() call is.

Installation

curl -LO {...}/releases/download/{ver}/{rels_name}.tar.gz

unpack it:

tar -xzf {rels_name}.tar.gz
cd {rels_name}

sudo make install

Finish by following the post-installation instructions that'll be printed.
