CentOS 安装PostgreSQL 9.1

PostgreSQL通常也简称Postgres，是一个关系型数据库管理系统，适用于各种Linux操作系统、Windows、Solaris、BSD和Mac OS X。PostgreSQL遵循PostgreSQL许可，是一个开源软件。PostgreSQL由PostgreSQL全球开发组开发，由极少数的公司志愿组成并进行监督管理，这些公司有红帽、EnterpriseDB等。

PostgreSQL的知名度越来越大，这是理所当然的：它是如此可靠、高效。与传统企业级关系型数据库相比，PostgreSQL完全基于社区驱动，有着丰富的工具和文档，形成了一个完善的生态系统。

下面记录的是CentOS上安装PostgreSQL 9.1的过程：

1.添加PosgreSQL Yum Repository，访问http://yum.pgrpms.org/reporpms/repoview/letter_p.group.html，下载并安装和当前系统对应的rpm文件。

修改原始的yum仓库配置，在[base]和[updates]部分的尾部追加exclude=postgresql*用以取消从默认仓库安装和更新PostgreSQL。

初始化数据库，默认路径为/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data
[root@SNDA-192-168-15-161 yum.repos.d]# service postgresql-9.1 initdb
Initializing database:                                     [  OK  ]

启动服务
[root@SNDA-192-168-15-161 yum.repos.d]# service postgresql-9.1 start
Starting postgresql-9.1 service:                           [  OK  ]

[root@SNDA-192-168-15-161 yum.repos.d]# vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/pg_hba.conf
[root@SNDA-192-168-15-161 yum.repos.d]# psql -U postgres
psql: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"

重启服务
[root@SNDA-192-168-15-161 yum.repos.d]# service postgresql-9.1 restart
Stopping postgresql-9.1 service:                           [  OK  ]
Starting postgresql-9.1 service:                           [  OK  ]

(这里需要先修改配置文件/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/pg_hba.conf 将peer或别的改为trust，否则会提示错误Peer authentication failed for user “postgres”)，修改客户端认证配置文件，将METHOD由默认的ident改为md5
[root@SNDA-192-168-15-161 yum.repos.d]# psql -U postgres
psql (9.1.5)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'admin'
postgres-# \q
