Thread: Uninstall Postgresql in openSUSE 13.1
Hi, I need to uninstall postgresql. I downloaded using http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload . But now I want to uninstall it. As there are no uninstaller, I am thinking to install it manually. [root@arup]# find / -name postgresql find: ‘/var/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied /etc/init.d/postgresql /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/postgresql /etc/sysconfig/postgresql /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/include/postgresql /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/lib/postgresql /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/doc/postgresql /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/share/postgresql Can you tell me which of those files I have to remove? Or is there any other safe approach or not ? -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit ================ Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

I found this link - http://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/9.3/pginstguide/PostgreSQL_Installation_Guide-13.htm#P413_27929 And tried - [root@arup]# uninstall-postgresql If 'uninstall-postgresql' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf uninstall-postgresql [root@arup]# ls /opt/PostgresPlus/ ls: cannot access /opt/PostgresPlus/: No such file or directory [root@arup]# Nothing worked. -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit ================ Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.

I uninstalled finally - [root@arup]# find /opt -name uninstall-postgresql /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/uninstall-postgresql [root@arup]# /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/uninstall-postgresql And it got uninstalled. Then I deleted the postgres user [root@arup]# userdel postgres no crontab for postgres and manually removed some file : [root@arup]# rm -rf /opt/PostgreSQL/ [root@arup]# ls /opt/ -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit ================ Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
