+ This command loads a shared library file into the <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ server's address space. If the file has been loaded already,
+ the command does nothing. Shared library files that contain C functions
+ are automatically loaded whenever one of their functions is called.
+ Therefore, an explicit <code class="command">LOAD</code> is usually only needed to
+ load a library that modifies the server's behavior through <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">hooks</span>”</span>
+ rather than providing a set of functions.
+ </p><p>
+ The library file name is typically given as just a bare file name,
+ which is sought in the server's library search path (set
+ by <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-client.html#GUC-DYNAMIC-LIBRARY-PATH">dynamic_library_path</a>). Alternatively it can be
+ given as a full path name. In either case the platform's standard shared
+ library file name extension may be omitted.
+ See <a class="xref" href="xfunc-c.html#XFUNC-C-DYNLOAD" title="38.10.1. Dynamic Loading">Section 38.10.1</a> for more information on this topic.
+ </p><a id="id-1.9.3.154.5.4" class="indexterm"></a><p>
+ Non-superusers can only apply <code class="command">LOAD</code> to library files
+ located in <code class="filename">$libdir/plugins/</code> — the specified
+ <em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em> must begin
+ with exactly that string. (It is the database administrator's
+ responsibility to ensure that only <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">safe</span>”</span> libraries
+ are installed there.)
