Using the extension

Initialize the extension’s backend:

CREATE EXTENSION pg_later CASCADE;

SELECT pglater.init();

Execute a SQL query now:

select pglater.exec(
  'select * from pg_available_extensions order by name limit 2'
) as job_id;
 job_id 
--------
     1
(1 row)

Come back at some later time, and retrieve the results by providing the job id:

select pglater.fetch_results(1);
 pg_later_results
--------------------
{
  "query": "select * from pg_available_extensions order by name limit 2",
  "job_id": 1,
  "result": [
