37.2. Initializing the Metadata Catalog (init) #
Required privileges: Postgres Pro AXE administrator only. For more information about stored procedures and privileges, refer to Section 22.1.
Execute the following command:
SELECT metastore.init(force_init bool DEFAULT false)
If the metadata catalog is already initialized on the server, you receive a warning:
postgres=# SELECT metastore.init();
INFO: Metastore catalog already initialized on remote server
INFO: Run metastore.init(true) to force rewrite catalog on remote server
init
------
(1 row)
In this case, you can reinitialize the metadata catalog by executing the same command with the force_init parameter set to true:
postgres=# SELECT metastore.init(true);
init
------
(1 row)
