Install this extension with pig:

pig install pllua;		# install via package name, for the active PG version
pig install hstore_plluau;		# install by extension name, for the current active PG version

pig install hstore_plluau -v 18;   # install for PG 18
pig install hstore_plluau -v 17;   # install for PG 17

Create this extension with:

CREATE EXTENSION hstore_plluau CASCADE; -- requires hstore, plluau

Usage

hstore_plluau: hstore transform for PL/Lua untrusted

The hstore_plluau extension provides a transform that allows hstore values to be passed directly to and from untrusted PL/Lua (plluau) functions as native Lua tables.

CREATE EXTENSION hstore;
CREATE EXTENSION plluau;
CREATE EXTENSION hstore_plluau;

Using hstore in plluau

With the transform installed, hstore arguments are automatically converted to Lua tables:

CREATE FUNCTION process_hstore(h hstore) RETURNS hstore LANGUAGE plluau AS $$
  -- h is a Lua table with string keys and string values
  h["processed"] = "true"
  -- Can also do unrestricted operations (file I/O, etc.)
  return h
$$;

SELECT process_hstore('key1 => "val1", key2 => "val2"'::hstore);

This is the untrusted counterpart to hstore_pllua. The behavior is identical – hstore values become Lua tables and vice versa – but functions run in the unrestricted plluau environment.
