I have a FreeBSD-12.1p10 system running postgreSQL-11.8. This is a test
platform for Idempiere. When creating a new client in Idempiere I get this
error message:

** org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: function uuid_generate_v4() does
not exist Hint: No function matches the given name and argument types. You
might need to add explicit type casts. Where: PL/pgSQL function generate_uuid()
line 3 at RETURN

This usually means that the uuid-ossp extension is not active in the database.
However, I previously installed this and psql shows that it is present:

sudo -u postgres psql --dbname=idempiere
psql (11.8)
Type "help" for help.

idempiere=# \dx

Name | Version | Schema | Description
-----------+---------+------------+-------------------------------------------------
plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
uuid-ossp | 1.1 | public | generate universally unique identifiers
(UUIDs)

The owner of the idempiere database is idempiere_dbadmin and this is the user
that is attempting to generate the UUID.

What is the problem?
