Обсуждение: adminpack installed?
New to managing postgresql, I hope my questions are not a burden to this group, but I have another.
I have installed version 8.4.5 of postgresql, 1.12.1 of pgadmin3.
When I invoke pgadmin3 from a terminal prompt I get the message that
"The server lacks instrumentation functions....adminpack is installed and activated by default...is included as a contrib module with all versions of PostgreSQL 8.2 and above...copy the appropriate adminpack source code ..."
Yet adminpack.sql already exists in /contrib and according to the message, is activated by default in 8.4.5.
I installed postgresql using Yast, set PGLIB and PGDATA by hand, changed ownership to postgres and ran initdb to initialize it.
(I don't recall if I downloaded pgadmin3 from postgresql.org or used Yast to install it. In Yast the version number of pgadmin3 is in red (?), so maybe I downloaded it by hand.)
Do I need to do something to tell the system adminpack is already available, or something else?
Thanks for any help with this issue.

Thanks again for your great help.
I ran adminpack.sql in the query window and it returned 'success'.
I actually did read the complete message and it was (slightly) vague enough that I thought there was a chance it didn't just apply to the windows installer.
Thanks for your expert help.

You need to read the complete message: "The adminpack is installed and
activated by default *if you are running the 'official' pgInstaller
distribution of PostgreSQL for Windows*".
Which, BTW, should say the onclick installer. Will fix this.
Anyway, as you use Yast, I suppose the server is not installed on a
Windows box :)

This is automatically done with the Windows installer because it also
installs pgAdmin3. But you need to do it yourself on Linux.

You need to read the complete message: "The adminpack is installed and

distribution of PostgreSQL for Windows*".

I never worked with them, so I can't be sure, but they should behave like their Windows counterpart. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com
