Database Setup
Login to an existing database as a database superuser or a user who has CREATEROLE and CREATEDB privileges, then execute the following command:
psql.exe -h <HOST-NAME> -W -U <USER_NAME> -p <PORT> -d <DATABASE_NAME>
-- Delete previous user if needed
-- DROP USER "MM";
-- If the user cannot be dropped due to any ownership issues, you'll need to reassign those objects to another user
-- REASSIGN OWNED BY "MM" TO <OTHER-USER-NAME>;
-- Or drop those objects
-- DROP OWNED BY "MM"
-- Create a user MM with LOGIN privilege
CREATE USER "MM" LOGIN PASSWORD 'MM123!';
-- Create a database MM with UTF8 encoding.
CREATE DATABASE "MM" WITH OWNER "MM" ENCODING 'UTF8';
Note: For maintenance reasons, PostgreSQL database indexes can be rebuilt as follows:
- Stop the MM Tomcat server
- run the following command under the MS-DOS command prompt assuming postgresql/bin is in the system path. This may take some time if your database is large.
reindexdb --username=MM --dbname=MM -v - Restart the MM Tomcat server
For more information on reindexdb, refer to the PostgreSQL documentation.
