Hi David,
1) Upgrade to 7.2
If you are starting with a fresh install, consider using PostgreSQL 7.2.
PostgreSQL 7.2 has many improvements, including WAL support (logging in case
of crash) and much more...
RedHat binary packages can be downloaded from
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/PByName.html.
Download :
postgresql-server-7.2-5
postgresql-contrib-7.2-5
postgresql-devel-7.2-5
postgresql-docs-7.2-5
postgresql-jdbc-7.2-5
postgresql-libs-7.2-5
postgresql-odbc-7.2-5
Also, you may be interested in these server-side languages (which are highly
recommanded):
postgresql-perl-7.2-5
postgresql-python-7.2-5
postgresql-tcl-7.2-5
postgresql-tk-7.2-5
Upgrade all packages at once running : rpm -Uvh postgresql*
rpm might answer dependencies are needed. Go to
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ and download
the required packages.
2) Install a fresh database
delete /var/lib/pgsql/data directory content (not the directory itself).
Then enter "service postgresql start"
This should create a fresh database in /var/lib/pgsql/data/.
3) More information
Detailed information can be found on :
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs (interactive documentation)
http://techdocs.postgresql.org (techdocs)
To administer your database, you can also have a look at pgAdmin2
(http://pgadmin.postgresql.org). pgAdmin2 takes advantage of the lastest 7.2
improvements.
