PostgreSQL's documentation was not friendly, I only found the Linux class system documentation. Then began to step on their own pits.

The file is exe if there is no DirectX or Microsoft Visual C + + redistributable (x64) ... Something like that it will automatically help install, so don't worry. (One of the reasons for choosing PostgreSQL is that MySQL's install-free package does not provide this type of support, manual is not resolved, other benefits are not yet available)

Setting environment variables

Create a new file with a VBS extension that reads as follows and double-click Execute.

On Error Resume Next set Sysenv=createobject ("Wscript.Shell"). Environment ("system") ' the array object of the systems environment variable Path = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject"). GetFolder ("."). Path ' Add variable sysenv ("pghome") = "D:\pgsql" sysenv ("PGHOST") = "localhost" sysenv ("Path") =sysenv ("pghome") + "\ Bin;" +sysenv ("Path") sysenv ("Pglib") =sysenv ("pghome") + "\lib" sysenv ("PGDATA") =sysenv ("pghome") + "\data" WScript.Echo " PostgreSQL environment variable installed successfully! No need to restart the computer Ah! "

Initializing the database

At the command line, it is best to right-click Administrator privileges (which are also used below).

initdb.exe-d D:\pgsql\data-E UTF-8--locale=chs-u postgres-w

-D: Specifies the storage directory for the database cluster E:\pgsql\data

-e: Default encoding Format UTF8

--locale: About regional Settings (Chinese-simplified-china)

-U: Specifies the user name of the Super user for DB Postgres

-W: Tips for assigning passwords to super users

Installing Windows Services

Pg_ctl register-n postgresql-d D:\pgsql\data (be sure to have Administrator privileges)
