Hello,

My name is John Tankersley. I am seeking some help in
setting the "D" or "PGDATA" option for where the data will be stored under postgresql.  I am running Suse Linux 8.0
versionon my system.  Here is what I've done. 
initdb is located in directory /usr/bin/
I am having trouble with getting the data directory established. Do I set it up under my userid of "John
"? When I am logged in as "John" I change to "su" to create the directory.
Please advise.
John
