You should execute something like this: su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start" Put this line in /etc/rc.local. (If you've installed PostgreSQL under a different directory, then edit the line above) ...or download http://postgresql.gunduz.org/init_scripts/RedHat9/postgresql-source and move it under /etc/init.d with the name postgresql . Then run chkconfig --add postgresql chkconfig --levels 2345 postgresql on Modify the script if you've installed postgresql under a different directory than /usr/local/pgsql > i searched for help and some suggestions were > > using chkconfig --add postgresql > when i did that it says error reading info on > postgresql service no such file or directory > i guess this is bcos postgres is not installed as a > service Since you haven't installed from RPMs, there is no default init script installed under /etc/init.d. So chkconfig does not make sense there. If you install postgresql from the RPMs, then running chkconfig --levels 2345 postgresql on will help you.

Dear group,
I have a table foo
anshajdb=# \d foo
Table "public.foo"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------+-------------------+-----------
snumber | numeric(18,0) |
test | character varying |
Indexes:
"snum_idx" btree (snumber)
when I try to do a query like
explain analyze select * from foo where snumber > 1000;
Seq Scan on foo (cost=0.00..69.00 rows=320 width=391) (actual
time=0.011..0.721 rows=323 loops=1)
Filter: (snumber > 1000::numeric)
Total runtime: 0.979 ms
(3 rows)
It do a sequence scan on table. Why it is not using the snum_idx in this
query. Do I need to change some setting or indexes don't work on this
types of query.
Thanks and Regards
Anshaj

You query is not selective enough for the database to use an index. ie. your
retrieving 323 rows from at best 1323 rows in the table, so the database
figures it can grab all of the records much faster by just doing a seq scan
on the table. Try adding some more data to the table and/or selecting a
specific value and you'll see your index get used.

One-sided inequalities are frequently not selective enough to justify an
indexscan. A rule of thumb is that if the WHERE selects more than one
or two percent of the table, you will (and should) get a seqscan.
