|
<para>

<application>initlocation</application>
|
|
creates a new <productname>Postgres</productname> secondary database storage area.
|
|
See the discussion under <xref linkend="SQL-CREATEDATABASE" endterm="SQL-CREATEDATABASE-title">
|
|
about how to manage and use secondary storage areas. If the argument does not contain
|
|
a slash and is not valid as a path, it is assumed to be an environment variable,
|
|
which is referenced. See the examples at the end.

<para>

In order to use this command you must be logged in (using 'su', for example)
|
|
as the database superuser.

Usage
|
|
</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To create a database in an alternate location, using an environment variable:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
$ export PGDATA2=/opt/postgres/data
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Start and stop postmaster so it sees the $PGDATA2 environment variable.
|
|
The system must be configured so the postmaster sees $PGDATA2 every time it
|
|
starts.
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
$ initlocation PGDATA2
|
|
$ createdb -D 'PGDATA2' 'testdb'
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Alternatively, if you allow absolute paths you could write:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
$ initlocation /opt/postgres/data
|
|
$ createdb -D '/opt/postgres/data/testdb' testdb
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
