Get rid of parameterized marked sections in SGML
Previously, we created a variant of the installation instructions for producing the plain-text INSTALL file by marking up certain parts of installation.sgml using SGML parameterized marked sections. Marked sections will not work anymore in XML, so before we can convert the documentation to XML, we need a new approach. DocBook provides a "profiling" feature that allows selecting content based on attributes, which would work here. But it imposes a noticeable overhead when building the full documentation and causes complications when building some output formats, and given that we recently spent a fair amount of effort optimizing the documentation build time, it seems sad to have to accept that. So as an alternative, (1) we create our own mini-profiling layer that adjusts just the text we want, and (2) assemble the pieces of content that we want in the INSTALL file using XInclude. That way, there is no overhead when building the full documentation and most of the "ugly" stuff in installation.sgml can be removed and dealt with out of line.

The following is a quick summary of how to get <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> up and

running once installed. The main documentation contains more information.

<step>

<para>
|

Create a user account for the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
|
||||
server. This is the user the server will run as. For production
|
||||
use you should create a separate, unprivileged account
|
||||
(<quote>postgres</quote> is commonly used). If you do not have root
|
||||
access or just want to play around, your own user account is
|
||||
enough, but running the server as root is a security risk and
|
||||
will not work.

|

</step>
|

|

<step>
|

<para>
|
||||
Create a database installation with the <command>initdb</command>
|
||||
command. To run <command>initdb</command> you must be logged in to your
|
||||
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server account. It will not work as
|
||||
root.
|
||||
<screen>root# <userinput>mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data</userinput>

root# <userinput>chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data</userinput>

<para>
|

The <option>-D</option> option specifies the location where the data
|
||||
will be stored. You can use any path you want, it does not have
|
||||
to be under the installation directory. Just make sure that the
|
||||
server account can write to the directory (or create it, if it
|
||||
doesn't already exist) before starting <command>initdb</command>, as
|
||||
illustrated here.

||||
</para>
|
||||
</step>

<step>
|

<para>
|
||||
At this point, if you did not use the <command>initdb</command> <literal>-A</literal>
|
||||
option, you might want to modify <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> to control
|
||||
local access to the server before you start it. The default is to
|
||||
trust all local users.

||||
</para>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The previous <command>initdb</command> step should have told you how to
|
||||
start up the database server. Do so now. The command should look
|
||||
something like:
|
||||
<programlisting>/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data</programlisting>
|
||||
This will start the server in the foreground. To put the server
|
||||
in the background use something like:
|
||||
<programlisting>nohup /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data \
|
||||
</dev/null >>server.log 2>&1 </dev/null &</programlisting>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
To stop a server running in the background you can type:
|
||||
<programlisting>kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`</programlisting>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Create a database:
|
||||
<screen><userinput>createdb testdb</userinput></screen>
|
||||
Then enter:
|
||||
<screen><userinput>psql testdb</userinput></screen>
|
||||
to connect to that database. At the prompt you can enter SQL
|
||||
commands and start experimenting.

The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> distribution contains a
|
||||
comprehensive documentation set, which you should read sometime.
|
||||
After installation, the documentation can be accessed by
|
||||
pointing your browser to
|
||||
<filename>/usr/local/pgsql/doc/html/index.html</filename>, unless you
|
||||
changed the installation directories.

The first few chapters of the main documentation are the Tutorial,
|
||||
which should be your first reading if you are completely new to
|
||||
<acronym>SQL</acronym> databases. If you are familiar with database
|
||||
concepts then you want to proceed with part on server
|
||||
administration, which contains information about how to set up
|
||||
the database server, database users, and authentication.

Usually, you will want to modify your computer so that it will

suggestions for this are in the documentation.

Run the regression tests against the installed server (using

<command>make installcheck</command>). If you didn't run the

tests before installation, you should definitely do it now. This

is also explained in the documentation.

By default, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is configured to run on
|
||||
minimal hardware. This allows it to start up with almost any
|
||||
hardware configuration. The default configuration is, however,
|
||||
not designed for optimum performance. To achieve optimum
|
||||
performance, several server parameters must be adjusted, the two
|
||||
most common being <varname>shared_buffers</varname> and
|
||||
<varname>work_mem</varname>.
|
||||
Other parameters mentioned in the documentation also affect
|

performance.
