Add reference pages for utilities and remove standalone chapters for same. Add material for an appendix on date/time properties, but not yet integrated with the User's Guide. Break up the former chapter on pg_options into Admin and Programmer's Guides.

shows how the <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> distribution is laid
|
|
out when installed in the default way. For simplicity,
|
|
we will assume that <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>
|
|
has been installed in the
|
|
directory <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</filename>. Therefore, wherever
|
|
you see the directory <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</filename> you should
|
|
substitute the name of the directory where
|
|
<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> is
|
|
actually installed.
|
|
All <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> commands are installed
|
|
in the directory
|
|
<filename>/usr/local/pgsql/bin</filename>. Therefore, you should add
|
|
this directory to your shell command path. If you use
|
|
a variant of the Berkeley C shell, such as csh or tcsh,
|
|
you would add
|
|
<ProgramListing>
|
|
set path = ( /usr/local/pgsql/bin path )
|
|
</ProgramListing>
|
|
in the .login file in your home directory. If you use
|
|
a variant of the Bourne shell, such as sh, ksh, or
|
|
bash, then you would add
|
|
<ProgramListing>
|
|
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
|
|
export PATH
|
|
</ProgramListing>
|
|
to the .profile file in your home directory.
|
|
From now on, we will assume that you have added the
|
|
<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> bin directory to your path.
|
|
In addition, we
|
|
will make frequent reference to "setting a shell
|
|
variable" or "setting an environment variable" throughout
|
|
this document. If you did not fully understand the
|
|
last paragraph on modifying your search path, you
|
|
should consult the UNIX manual pages that describe your
|
|
shell before going any further.

|
If you have not set things up in the
|
|
default way, you may have some more work to do.
|
|
For example, if the database server machine is a remote machine, you
|
|
will need to set the <envar>PGHOST</envar> environment variable to the name
|
|
of the database server machine. The environment variable
|
|
<envar>PGPORT</envar> may also have to be set. The bottom line is this: if
|
|
you try to start an application program and it complains
|
|
that it cannot connect to the <Application>postmaster</Application>,
|
|
you must go back and make sure that your
|
|
environment is properly set up.
