INTRODUCTION
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This file describes how to create a PostgreSQL database for Drupal.
|
|
|
|
If you control your databases through a web-based control panel,
|
|
check its documentation, as the following instructions are for the
|
|
command line only.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. CREATE DATABASE USER
|
|
|
|
This step is only necessary if you don't already have a user setup
|
|
(e.g. by your host) or you want to create new user for use with Drupal
|
|
only. The following command creates a new user named "username" and
|
|
asks for a password for that user:
|
|
|
|
createuser --pwprompt --encrypted --no-adduser --no-createdb username
|
|
|
|
If everything works correctly, you'll see a "CREATE USER" notice.
|
|
|
|
2. CREATE THE DRUPAL DATABASE
|
|
|
|
This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database
|
|
setup (e.g. by your host) or you want to create new database for
|
|
use with Drupal only. The following command creates a new database
|
|
named "databasename", which is owned by previously created "username":
|
|
|
|
createdb --encoding=UNICODE --owner=username databasename
|
|
|
|
If everything works correctly, you'll see a "CREATE DATABASE" notice.
|
|
Note that the database must be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.
|
|
|
|
3. LOAD THE DRUPAL DATABASE SCHEMA
|
|
|
|
Once the database has been created, load the required tables into it:
|
|
|
|
psql -q -f database/database.pgsql databasename username
|
|
|
|
If everything works correctly, you won't see any messages.
