Enable The Extensions

1. Execute the following commands one at a time

   create extension postgis;
   create extension fuzzystrmatch;
   create extension postgis_tiger_geocoder;
   create extension postgis_topology;
   

2. Then these

   alter schema tiger owner to rds_superuser;
   alter schema tiger_data owner to rds_superuser;
   alter schema topology owner to rds_superuser;
   

3. And then

   CREATE FUNCTION exec(text) returns text language plpgsql volatile AS $f$ BEGIN EXECUTE $1; RETURN $1; END; $f$;
   

4. And finally execute this script

   SELECT exec('ALTER TABLE ' || quote_ident(s.nspname) || '.' || quote_ident(s.relname) || ' OWNER TO rds_superuser;')
     FROM (
       SELECT nspname, relname
       FROM pg_class c JOIN pg_namespace n ON (c.relnamespace = n.oid) 
       WHERE nspname in ('tiger','topology') AND
       relkind IN ('r','S','v') ORDER BY relkind = 'S')
   s;  
   

Confirm Everything is Working

1. Execute this script

   SET search_path=public,tiger;
   

2. Then this one

   select na.address, na.streetname, na.streettypeabbrev, na.zip
   from normalize_address('1 Devonshire Place, Boston, MA 02109') as na;
   

   You should see the following

   address | streetname | streettypeabbrev |  zip
   ---------+------------+------------------+-------
         1 | Devonshire | Pl               | 02109
   

3. Execute this script

   select topology.createtopology('my_new_topo',26986,0.5);
   

   And you should see

   createtopology
