The load_library operator loads a plugin.

Synopsis

load_library('library_name');

Summary

The load_library operator loads a SciDB plugin. The act of loading a library registers the library in the SciDB system catalogs. It then opens and examines the shared library to store its contents with SciDB's internal extension management subsystem.  Requires root permissions when running in namespaces mode.

Shared libraries that are registered with the SciDB instance load at start time.

To unload a library, see unload_library.

Example

To load the example plugin, librational.so, do the following:

load_library('rational');
