For procedural languages and postgresql functions, please note that
|
|
you might have to update them when updating the server.
|
|
|
|
If you have many tables and many clients running, consider raising
|
|
kern.maxfiles using sysctl(8), or reconfigure your kernel
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
|
|
The port is set up to use autovacuum for new databases, but you might
|
|
also want to vacuum and perhaps backup your database regularly. There
|
|
is a periodic script, %%PREFIX%%/etc/periodic/daily/502.pgsql, that
|
|
you may find useful. You can use it to backup and perform vacuum on all
|
|
databases nightly. Per default, it performs `vacuum analyze'. See the
|
|
script for instructions. For autovacuum settings, please review
|
|
~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf.
|
|
|
|
If you plan to access your PostgreSQL server using ODBC, please
|
|
consider running the SQL script %%PREFIX%%/share/postgresql/odbc.sql
|
|
to get the functions required for ODBC compliance.
|
|
|
|
Please note that if you use the rc script,
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/postgresql, to initialize the database, unicode
|
|
(UTF-8) will be used to store character data by default. Set
|
|
postgresql_initdb_flags or use login.conf settings described below to
|
|
alter this behaviour. See the start rc script for more info.
|
|
|
|
To set limits, environment stuff like locale and collation and other
|
|
things, you can set up a class in /etc/login.conf before initializing
|
|
the database. Add something similar to this to /etc/login.conf:
|
|
---
|
|
postgres:\
|
|
:lang=en_US.UTF-8:\
|
|
:setenv=LC_COLLATE=C:\
|
|
:tc=default:
|
|
---
|
|
and run `cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf'.
|
|
Then add 'postgresql_class="postgres"' to /etc/rc.conf.
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
|
|
To initialize the database, run
|
|
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
|
|
|
|
You can then start PostgreSQL by running:
|
|
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
|
|
|
|
For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
|
|
|
|
NB. FreeBSD's PostgreSQL port logs to syslog by default
|
|
See ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf for more info
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
|
|
To run PostgreSQL at startup, add
|
|
'postgresql_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf
|
