How to install PostgreSQL database on opensuse

This article describes how to install the PostgreSQL database in opensuse. Let's take a look at the installation steps through the following introduction!

Environment

I tested the installation of postgresql 8.4.6 on opensuse 11.3, and the installation of postgresql 9.0.3 on opensuse 11.4. The steps are no different.

Install

 
 

  
  
zypper install postgresql-server 
 
 

Initialization

 
 

  
  
Mkdir/usr/local/pgsql
  
  
 
  
  
Mkdir/usr/local/pgsql/Data
  
  
 
  
  
Chown Postgres/usr/local/pgsql/Data
  
  
 
  
  
Initdb-D/usr/local/pgsql/data (this should be executed by the S user)
 
 

Enable Service

 
 

  
  
Postgres-D/usr/local/pgsql/data or pg_ctl-D/usr/local/pgsql/data-l logfile start
 
 

Create databases and users

 
 

  
  
psql postgres  
  
  
 
  
  
create user pub password 'pub';  
  
  
 
  
  
create database pgsql1 owner pub; 
 
 

Log on with a new user

 
 

  
  
psql -U pub pgsql1  
  
  
 
  
  
create schema pub authorization pub; 
 
 

If it is accessed on the local machine, you can. However, if you want to access PostgreSQL on another host, you need to configure the following.

Configure Network Access

1. If the firewall is enabled, add the postgresql service to the allowed service list.

2. Listen for all access requests. Modify/usr/local/pgsql/data/PostgreSQL. conf and change the localhost to *: listen_addresses = '*'.

3. Set accessible IP addresses. 0 is a wildcard. Modify/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_assist.conf and add host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 trust to the last line.
