Hello!
I am trying to build an RPM package that will put my Postgres
installation into a known (usable) state, without requiring any
interaction.
To this effect, I need to do the following:
1. set password for superuser
2. createuser user
3. createdb -O user dbname
No problems with (3) above. But for (1) and (2), how can I set the
passwords programmatically, since createuser does not let me do
this (requires interactive prompt from user)?
ALTER USER foo with encrypted password 'bar';
CREATE USER foo;
CREATE DATABASE bar owner foo;
That makes perfect sense, but how can I do this from the shell? Is
there an easy way to wrap these so I can send them to postgres from
the shell?
Thank you!
