Hi All,
I have a question - what is the procedure, to change the default
location of the data directory of PostgreSQL database? I would like
the data to be stored in /dane/postgresql/data instead of the Ubuntu's
default location (/var/lib/postgresql/). Is it enough just to run
initdb -D /dane/postgresq/data, and set in .bashrc file of the
postgres user PGDATA variable to /dane/postgresql/data, and maybe to
move configuration files to /etc/postgresql/8.2/main (just as ubuntu
does when installing the database)? Thanks in advance for answers and
hints :-)
Cheers,
Marek
