Re: Fwd: Mail to be posted in PostgreSQL community - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

 

Trying to create multiple database instances of PostgreSQL 9.6
In this case , trying to create 2^nd instance with port 5434/5435.

 

1^st attempt:

 

Create new database cluster :

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\installer\server>initcluster.vbs postgres postgr

es 12345 "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6" "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data

5434" 5433 DEFAULT

 

Register as Windows Service: 

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\installer\server>startupcfg.vbs 9.6 postgres 123

45 "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6" "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data5434"

postgresql-x64-9.6-5434

 

But after this step, new service is supposed to be found in services.msc which is not successful.

(Reference http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6241793/are-independent-instances-of-postgresql-possible )

 

2^nd attempt :

 

Create new database cluster : 

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin>initdb C:\PostgreSQL\9.6\data5435

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "Administrator

".

This user must also own the server process.

 

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "English_United States.1252

".

The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "WIN1252".

The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

 

Data page checksums are disabled.

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections

You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or

--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.

 

Success. You can now start the database server using:

 

    "pg_ctl" -D "C:\PostgreSQL\9.6\data5435" -l logfile start

Register as Windows Service:  

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin>pg_ctl register -N pgsql-9.6-5435 -U administrator -P test@123 -D "C:\PostgreSQL\9.6\data5435" -o "-p 5435"

 

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin>net start pgsql-9.6-5435

The pgsql-9.6-5435 service is starting.

The pgsql-9.6-5435 service was started successfully.
