You should ideally install it as a Windows
service. You can restrict access to the server using the pg_hba.conf to the
local machine only so other network machines cannot connect. The windows
service means that PostgreSQL can be controlled automatically at startup,
rather than have to be started manually. You define the data directory in the MSI
installer (although I believe this is my default under C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\Data.) To use the database, you need a management
program, such as PgAdmin III – this ships with the MSI installer, if you
install this at the same time as you install Postgres, it’ll add a
connection to PgAdmin for the local server. The latest version manual can be found on
the documentation website – that’ll give you any information you
need regarding config files etc. Andy From:
pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of System Consult Im a new user, having read so much about the database. i installed the binary version successfuly on windows. I did not
install as a service, as all access have to be through the local host, via a
program(java). Now how do i create the database at a specified directory and
start using this. kind and urgent assistance required !DSPAM:14,4460656534491115751839! |
