Initializing a PostgreSQL Database

The following topic describes how to configure TrackStudio for use with a PostgreSQL database management system.

Start postmaster.

> postmaster -D ../data/ -i -h host.mycompany.com

Create an empty database:

Copy Code

> createdb -E UNICODE -U postgres trackstudio

Configure the database connection properties:
- TrackStudio SA: Go to the Database -> Database Connectivity tab, enter the JDBC connection properties.
- TrackStudio WAR: Edit the trackstudio.hibernate.properties:

Copy Code

hibernate.dialect org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
hibernate.connection.url jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/trackstudio
hibernate.connection.driver_class org.postgresql.Driver
hibernate.connection.username postgres
hibernate.connection.password postgres

Initialize the database:
- TrackStudio SA: Go to the Database -> Database Management tab and click the Create Database button.
- TrackStudio WAR: Execute sql\install\trackstudio-pgsql.sql:

Copy Code

> psql --user=postgres -d trackstudio -f trackstudio-pgsql.sql

Notes

To backup the database execute:

Copy Code

> pg_dump -U postgres -Fc -Z9 trackstudio > trackstudio.dmp

To restore the database execute:

Copy Code

> createdb -E UNICODE -U postgres trackstudio
> pg_restore -U postgres --disable-triggers -S postgres -d trackstudio trackstudio.dmp
