pg-setup — set up a new Postgres Pro database cluster
pg-setup initdb
pg-setup is a shell script provided in
the Postgres Pro distribution to automate
database cluster setup on Linux systems. This script is provided as
part of the server package.
pg-setup must be run as root, but performs database
administration operations as user postgres. You can
only run this script with the initdb option,
without passing any additional arguments.
pg-setup accepts the following command-line options:
initdbInitialize the database cluster on behalf of the
postgres user.
pg-setup creates the database cluster
with checksums enabled, auth-local parameter
set to peer, and auth-host
parameter set to md5.
Localization settings are inherited from the LANG
environment variable for the current session.
All the LC_* environment variables are ignored.
