Hello List,
I have installed Postgresql 7.4 on a Suse 9.0 system using apt.
I cannot do this:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
Because there is no "/pgsql/bin/initdb" nor /pgsql/bin/ on my system.
Since apt did not create these directories how can I do it manually?
Thanks,
Jerome

You don't. Normal rpm packagers put binaries in /usr/bin and not in
/usr/local/pgsql/bin.
Try this:
$ initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
Or, just try to start the database with the init script:
# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
If it's like the one I have here on Fedora, it should run initdb automatically if
the Cluster hasn't been built yet.

Just run
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
and it will be taken care of. Read the README files in
/usr/share/doc/packages/postgresql-* to learn about how the packages
are layed out.

although it will be taken care of, make sure that initdb sets the local
language to C or your string indexes will not be used.. Unless this has
been fixed and en_US works as as well?

I think that if you really need very fast indexes, the first thing to do is read
the instalation manual and configure very carefully the postgres acount
(envioronment variables, etc).

I think it's fair to say that out of the box and RPM install should not
result in indexes not being used because the LANG is set to something
other than 'C'. I'm all for reading the manual and tuning later, but
that is something that can't be changed without a complete
dump/initdb/restore. It's just always seemed kind of misleading to me..

The question is which should be the default? For me it's better to have
LANG=es_AR, just because I will have REAL string ordering in a query like this:
SELECT varfield FROM sometable ORDER BY varfield;
That would work great with 'C' locale if varfield didn't contain caracters like á,
é, í, ó, ú, ñ.

Hello All,
I installed postgresql 7.3.4 on HPUX PA in /usr/local/pgsql and put the libraries in
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/LIB_new. During the initialization( initdb), it loads libraries (language) from
/usr/local/pgsql/lib. In postgresql version 7.3.1, libraries are not loaded and no such problem during initdb.
I had the following problem:
$ initdb -D /var/pgsql
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
