====================================================================== * IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE * IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE * If you have not backed up your data from the previous version, revert to using an older copy of this port and dump your data before proceeding. Upgrading without performing a dump will likely result in instability, data loss, interoperability problems, and performance issues. It is recommended that you re-initdb between upgrades. If you have made a backup, ignore this warning. Please remember to keep PostgreSQL client installations in sync with the server. You might want to add the following tunable to /etc/make.conf POSTGRESQL_PORT=databases/postgresql-devel ====================================================================== To initialize the database, you should run initdb as the "pgsql" user. Example: su -l pgsql -c initdb You can then start PostgreSQL by running: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf For more tips, read ~pgsql/post-install-notes ======================================================================
