Обсуждение: PostgreSQL installation
Hi,
How can we make PostgreSQL db up and running with out using installer i.e. we want to build the db internally and ship the db along with our application and let our application run the DB. We don’t want to include the PostgreSQL installer along with our installer and create the db while installing.
Thanks,
shabz

unless you want to do it on windows, than I have no idea...

There's a silent installation option to the Windows installer which AFAIK is the usual way to install Postgres via another installer.

On windows, first thing you need to do is take a look at silent mode install through the installer and makes sure that this is not a good solution for you. If not, you have to have the following ducks in order: create user account: can do with net command make sure have service rights: google ntrights.exe install service: pg_ctl can do this switch cmd.exe current user: runas automatic password entry to runas: sanur.exe run initdb You can also code your own install in C, of course. This requires expert level windows coding though. Also you have to watch out for things like automatic password expiration, and various other windows nuisances. If (and only if) you are on a secure network you can save some headaches by compiling out the administrative user check. merlin
Hi, How can I create the user and database schema? While creating user it's taking automatically windows log in account name. I am using ant for the same purpose. Thanks, Shahbaz A.

just create one , dump it to a file, and restore after pg instalation.
http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/silent.html We did that in one of our setups. It works, but has some limitations. For example, you cannot set a global encoding via the command line (its a known installer bug in 8.3.4/8.3.5). And it didn't worked for us on some w2k3 servers, if you didn't install to the system drive. You can work around both issues, though, by doing the setup without running initdb and calling initdb manually afterwards.
