I run Postgres 10.5. I understand that there is something called tablefunc and it includes a crosstab function. On Stack Overflow I learn that you import this function. But from where and how? The Postgres documentation is quite clear and intelligible to a retired English professor like me, but there is nothing in the Postgres documentation about how to do the import, and a search for ‘import modules’ yields nothing.
I tried to emulate a Stack overflow query that does what I want to do, but got an error message saying that the crosstab function doesn’t exist. I tried
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS tablefunc;
but it did nothing. It doesn’t seem to work as import statements in Python do
