PostgreSQL Administration Functions
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This directory is a PostgreSQL 'contrib' module which implements a number of
|
|
support functions which pgAdmin and other administration and management tools
|
|
can use to provide additional functionality if installed on a server.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This module is normally distributed as a PostgreSQL 'contrib' module. To
|
|
install it from a pre-configured source tree run the following commands
|
|
as a user with appropriate privileges from the adminpack source directory:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you have a PostgreSQL 8.2 or higher installation but no
|
|
source tree you can install using PGXS. Simply run the following commands the
|
|
adminpack source directory:
|
|
|
|
make USE_PGXS=1
|
|
make USE_PGXS=1 install
|
|
|
|
pgAdmin will look for the functions in the Maintenance Database (usually
|
|
"postgres" for 8.2 servers) specified in the connection dialogue for the server.
|
|
To install the functions in the database, either run the adminpack.sql script
|
|
using the pgAdmin SQL tool (and then close and reopen the connection to the
|
|
freshly instrumented server), or run the script using psql, eg:
|
|
|
|
psql -U postgres postgres < adminpack.sql
|
|
|
|
Other administration tools that use this module may have different requirements,
|
|
please consult the tool's documentation for further details.
