使用initdb
将一个目录初始化为postgres
的数据库目录
postgres@me:/usr/local/pgsql$ ./bin/initdb --help
initdb initializes a PostgreSQL database cluster.
Usage:
initdb [OPTION]... [DATADIR]
Options:
-A, --auth=METHOD default authentication method for local connections
--auth-host=METHOD default authentication method for local TCP/IP connections
--auth-local=METHOD default authentication method for local-socket connections
[-D, --pgdata=]DATADIR location for this database cluster
-E, --encoding=ENCODING set default encoding for new databases
--locale=LOCALE set default locale for new databases
--lc-collate=, --lc-ctype=, --lc-messages=LOCALE
--lc-monetary=, --lc-numeric=, --lc-time=LOCALE
set default locale in the respective category for
new databases (default taken from environment)
--no-locale equivalent to --locale=C
--pwfile=FILE read password for the new superuser from file
-T, --text-search-config=CFG
default text search configuration
-U, --username=NAME database superuser name
-W, --pwprompt prompt for a password for the new superuser
-X, --waldir=WALDIR location for the write-ahead log directory
Less commonly used options:
-d, --debug generate lots of debugging output
-k, --data-checksums use data page checksums
-L DIRECTORY where to find the input files
-n, --no-clean do not clean up after errors
-N, --no-sync do not wait for changes to be written safely to disk
-s, --show show internal settings
-S, --sync-only only sync data directory
Other options:
-V, --version output version information, then exit
-?, --help show this help, then exit
If the data directory is not specified, the environment variable PGDATA
is used.

最简单的示例(使用-D
来将一个文件夹初始化为数据库文件夹):
postgres@me:/usr/local/pgsql$ ./bin/initdb -D ./data
复制代码
初始化完成了并且还提示我们使用./bin/pg_ctl -D ./data/ -l logfile start
这个命令来启动数据库服务器
