You should have at least 8 MB of memory and at least 30 MB of disk space to
hold the source, binaries, and user databases.
If you would like to migrate your databases from postgres 1.0 to
postgres 1.02, see the directory called MIGRATION_1.0_TO_1.02. People
upgrading from version 1.01 do not have to make any database changes.

To install Postgres95 on UNIX platforms:
MIGRATING FROM POSTGRES VERSION 1
---------------------------------
Version 2 is mostly backward compatible with Version 1, but the database
format is incompatible, so if you have databases that you use with Version
1, you need to convert them before you can use them with Version 2. Once
you do that, you won't be able to use them with Version 1 anymore.
1. Create the postgres login.
Create a login called postgres (this requires root privileges). We
recommend that you run the postmaster as the user postgres for security
reasons.
For details on how to do this conversion, see the file MIGRATION_V1_TO_V2.
INSTALLING POSTGRES95
---------------------
Installing Postgres95 encompasses only installing the software on your system
so you can use it to access (or create or manipulate) databases. This
step does not include actually creating any database or configuring your
system to use it.
To install Postgres95 on UNIX platforms:
If you run the postmaster as yourself, be warned that you essentially
grant all database users the ability to execute arbitrary C functions
as you without your password. (In any case, DO NOT run the postmaster
as root.)
1. Unpack the source distribution into a source directory. We'll assume
"/usr/src/postgres95" in this discussion. This should be a new directory.
2. Set your current directory to the source directory:

cd /usr/src/postgres95
If you have earlier versions of Postgres installed, you might want
to install Postgres95 in a different place.
3. Build Postgres95:

in the top level Postgres95 directory (eg. /usr/local/postgres95).
4. Install Postgres95
Installing just means placing all the files built in the previous step
into their live locations on your system.
% gmake install
This will narrate all the files being installed. You should watch and
be sure the files are going to reasonable places and confirm for yourself
that they ended up where they belong.
Any error messages indicate something is wrong and you probably have to
correct it before Postgres95 will work.
HOW TO CREATE A DATABASE SYSTEM
-------------------------------
Once you have Postgres installed, you'll need at least one database system
on which to operate. A database system is a collection of databases that
are used together and fall under a single authority. You can have as many
database systems as you want on a single unix system.
You will find the following executables in the bin directory (which
should be included in the search path of your shell):
You select a unix user to be the "postgres superuser" for a database
system and that user, for one thing, owns all the unix files that hold
all the data for that database system. It is usually a good idea to create
a user for the sole purpose of being a postgres superuser.
% ls /usr/local/postgres95/bin
cleardbdir* destroydb* pg_dump* postgres*
createdb* destroyuser* pg_id* postmaster@
createuser* initdb* pg_version* psql*
WARNING: Postgres95 is not secure. Anyone who can connect to a database
system can easily assume all the unix privileges of its Postgres
superuser. The simplest way is by creating and running a C language
function. There are plans to remedy this in future developent.
You will find the following in the database directory:
The program initdb (part of Postgres) is what initializes (creates) a
database system. See the man page for initdb.
% ls -R /usr/local/postgres95/data
files/
pg_hba
data/files:
global1.bki local1_template1.bki
global1.bki.source local1_template1.bki.source
Example:
3. Initialize the database.
% initdb --pgdata=/usr/lib/postgres_data --username=postgres
After you have installed Postgres95, initialize the database by typing:
This example creates the files for the database system in the directory
/usr/lib/postgres_data and makes user "postgres" the Postgres superuser
for the new database system.
% initdb
By default, the user issuing the initdb command becomes the Postgres
superuser, and only the unix superuser can specify any other user as the
Postgres superuser.
4. Start the postmaster.
Setting up Permissions
----------------------
Now, you are ready to make the system operational by running the
postmaster daemon. There are a few environment variables which affect
its operation:
PGDATA - location of the database (eg. /usr/local/postgres95/data)
PGPORT - TCP port where it listens for connection (eg. 5432)
You don't have to set these variables if you use the (compile time)
default.
The first thing you should do after creating a database system is set up
the permissions for connecting to the database. These are kept in the
file pg_hba in the data directory. Initdb creates a sample version of
this file, which contains comments telling you how to set it up.
% postmaster -S
The Postmaster Daemon
---------------------
5. Testing.
Finally, in order to use the database system, you'll need to have a
postmaster daemon running. There is one postmaster process per database
system. The postmaster runs the program "postgres" and must run as the
Postgres superuser. See the postgres man page.
We suggest you run the regression tests to make sure the release
was installed successfully. The regression tests can be found in
src/test/regress. (see src/test/regress/README for more details)
So, for example, you can login as the Postgres superuser and issue the
command:
% cd /usr/local/postgres95/src/test/regress
% postgres -S -D/usr/lib/postgres/postgres_data -p5432
This says to run the postmaster against the database system created above,
to accept connections from users on the conventional TCP port 5432, and
(-S) to run in the background without issuing messages about normal
execution.
This is a good daemon to start via system startup scripts, using su (be
careful NOT to run the postmaster as the unix superuser by mistake).
TESTING POSTGRES95
------------------
We suggest you run the regression tests to make sure the release was
installed successfully and works as designed in your environment. The
regression tests can be found in src/test/regress. (see
src/test/regress/README for more details)
% cd /usr/src/postgres95/src/test/regress
% gmake all runtest
This will run a whole slew of regression tests and might take a long
time to run. When it's done, the output is in the file obj/regress.out.
You can compare this to a sample run that we supply in the file
sample.regress.out. (You should get roughly the same output except
for some pathnames.)

The regression test takes about half an hour to run on a Sparc 10.
You may want to use 'grep -v' to remove unsignificant differences.

PLAYING WITH POSTGRES95
-----------------------
6. Run queries.
After Postgres95 is installed, a database system is created, a postmaster
daemon is running, and the regression tests have passed, you'll want to
see Postgres95 do something. That's easy. Invoke the interactive interface
to Postgres95, psql, and start typing SQL:
After the database is initialized, you can create a new database. To
create a database, do the following:
% psql -d/usr/lib/postgres_data template1
% createdb foo
(psql has to open a particular database, but at this point the only one
that exists is the template1 database, which always exists. We will connect
to it only long enough to create another one and switch to it).
To connect to the postmaster, you have a choice of two front-end programs.
("psql" is recommended. "monitor" is the old terminal monitor
supplied in earlier versions of Postgres)
% psql foo
Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRES95
The response from psql is:
type \? for help on slash commands
type \q to quit
type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
You are currently connected to the database: foo
You are currently connected to the database: template1
foo=>
template1=>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions? Bugs? Feedback?
Create the database foo:
template1=> CREATE DATABASE FOO;
INSERT 773248
(Don't ever forget those SQL semicolons. Psql won't execute anything until it
sees the semicolon).
template1=> \c foo
closing connection to database: template1
connecting to new database: foo
(\ commands aren't SQL, so no semicolon. Use \? to see all the \ commands).
template1=> CREATE TABLE bar (column1 int4, column2 char16);
CREATE
template1=> \d bar
...
You get the idea.
