- CREATE THE PostgreSQL DATABASE
- ------------------------------
- Note that the database must be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.
- 1. CREATE DATABASE USER
- This step is only necessary if you don't already have a user set up (e.g., by
- your host), or want to create a new user for use with Drupal only. The
- following command creates a new user named 'username' and asks for a password
- for that user:
- createuser --pwprompt --encrypted --no-createrole --no-createdb username
- If there are no errors, then the command was successful.
- 2. CREATE DRUPAL DATABASE
- This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database set up
- (e.g., by your host) or want to create a new database for use with Drupal
- only. The following command creates a new database named 'databasename',
- which is owned by the previously created 'username':
- createdb --encoding=UTF8 --owner=username databasename
- If there are no errors, then the command was successful.
- 3. CREATE SCHEMA OR SCHEMAS (Optional advanced step)
- Drupal will run across different schemas within your database if you so wish.
- By default, Drupal runs inside the 'public' schema but you can use $db_prefix
- inside settings.php to define a schema for Drupal to run inside of, or
- specify tables that are shared inside of a separate schema. Drupal will not
- create schemas for you. In fact, the user that Drupal runs as should not be
- allowed to do this. You'll need to execute the SQL below as a superuser,
- replace 'username' with the username that Drupal uses to connect to
- PostgreSQL, and replace 'schema_name' with a schema name you wish to use,
- such as 'shared':
- CREATE SCHEMA schema_name AUTHORIZATION username;
- Do this for as many schemas as you need. See default.settings.php for
- instructions on how to set which tables use which schemas.
