Installing a PostgreSQL Database
A Postgre SQL database is needed for 64 Bit Sesam installations. This guide explains how to install this database software on various Linux Distributions.
SLES10/SLES11 and OpenSuSE based Distributions
The PostgreSQL database can be installed using Yast or other common command line tools (rug of zypper).
The prerequisite is an SLES i.e. OpenSuSE install CD.
Installing with zypper
OpenSuse as well as SLES10 or SLES11 include the tool "zypper" with which you can comfortably (de-)install packages in the command line.
The package name for the PostgreSQL database is "postgresq1-server". This program's installation includes all dependencies that are needed for SEP sesam. The installation is done like this:
kiwi:~ # zypper install postgresql-server Loading files of the repository... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW packages are being installed: postgresql postgresql-libs postgresql-server Total size of the download: 4,1 M. After the operation an additional 7,1 M will be needed. Continue? [YES/no]: YES Package postgresql-libs-8.3.7-0.1.1.i586 is being called (1/3), 175,0 K (560,0 K installed) Calling: postgresql-libs-8.3.7-0.1.1.i586.rpm [done] Installing: postgresql-libs-8.3.7-0.1.1 [done] Package postgresql-8.3.7-0.1.1.i586 is being called (2/3), 1023,0 K (4,2 M installed) Calling: postgresql-8.3.7-0.1.1.i586.rpm [done] Installing: postgresql-8.3.7-0.1.1 [done] Package postgresql-server-8.3.7-0.1.1.i586 is being called (3/3), 3,0 M (12,4 M installed) Calling: postgresql-server-8.3.7-0.1.1.i586.rpm [fertig (1,1 M/s)] Installing: postgresql-server-8.3.7-0.1.1 [done]
Afterwards the PostgreSQL instance can be started once:
kiwi:~ # /etc/init.d/postgresql start Initializing the PostgreSQL database at location /var/lib/pgsql/data done Starting PostgreSQL done
Installing with YAST
You can also do the installation comfortably over the graphical interface. Searching and selecting the package is done via the Yast package search.
Installing on Debian based distributions (Debian/Ubuntu/UCS)
Debian based distributions automatically bring along according PostgreSQL packages over the online repositories and also on the install CDs.
Installing with apt-get
All Debian based distributions (Ubuntu, UCS) include the standard tool "apt-get" which is common for package management. With this tools packages can be installed and deinstalled comfortably in the command line.
The meta package "postgreSQL" includes all dependencies that are needed for a SEP sesam installation.

Installing on RHEL / CentOS based distributions
Installing via "yum" package manager
Installing in RHEL or CentOS based distributions works the same as in SLES or Debian. Here too, the installation can be installed with the included tools. In RHEL i.e. CentOS the command line tool "yum" is used here:
