Hi @cloudstacksoln, thanks for posting!

Are you trying to use PostGIS or earthdistance? These are separate extensions. PostGIS is supported and can be enabled by running the following in your database:

CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

The earthdistance extension is not currently supported. I will check if that’s something we can add.

For future reference, the list of supported extensions can be found here: Supported SQL Reference

Got it! I will follow up very shortly on whether we can add earthdistance.

Update: we are going to add support for earthdistance. Support should be rolled out by EOD. I will report back here once it’s been added :slight_smile:

CREATE EXTENSION earthdistance;
