======================================================================
To initialize the database, you should run initdb as the "pgsql" user
(if you want to use your locale for collation, edit ~pgsql/.profile
and set the locale to your preference first).
Example:
su -l pgsql -c initdb
You can then start PostgreSQL by running:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start
For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
NB. FreeBSD's PostgreSQL port now by default logs to syslog
See ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf for more info
For more tips, read ~pgsql/post-install-notes
======================================================================
Specific for the 7.4.1 update:
A dump/restore is *not* required for those running 7.4.
If you want to install the fixes in the information schema you need to
reload it into the database. This is either accomplished by
initializing a new cluster by running "initdb", or by running the
following sequence of SQL commands in each database (ideally including
template1) as a superuser in psql, after installing the new release:
DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;
\i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
Fixes to the information schema (from HISTORY):
* Fix information schema for bit data types (Peter)
* Fix information schema view constraint_column_usage for foreign
keys (Peter)
