PostgreSQL -
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. PostgreSQL runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows. This tutorial will give you quick start with PostgreSQL and make you comfortable with PostgreSQL programming.
Prerequisites -
Step 2- Enable service to start at system boot.
To enable service to start at system boot run command below.
Set a password for the "postgres" database role using the command:
Type Control+D or \q to exit the posgreSQL prompt.
Step 4- Basic server setup - Allow postgres user access
To allow access for postgre user, we need to modify config file- follow the steps to make changes :
Modify the following line. your config file should be like below.
Save and Exit from the file.
Login working successfully with user PostgreSQL

Prerequisites -
- One Linux machine with sudoers access
Step 1- Installation -
To install PostgreSQL server, run the following command.
$ sudo apt install postgresql
Once the installation is done, Check PostgreSQL service status.
$ sudo systemctl status postgresql
To enable service to start at system boot run command below.
$ sudo systemctl enable postgresql Synchronizing state of postgresql.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install... Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable postgresql
Now PostgreSQL service will start automatically at system boot.
Step 3- Basic server setup - set password for user postgres
To start off, we need to set the password of the PostgreSQL user (role) called "postgres"; we will not be able to access the server externally otherwise. As the local “postgres” Linux user, we are allowed to connect and manipulate the server using the psql command.$ sudo -u postgres psql postgresthis connects as a role with same name as the local user, i.e. "postgres", to the database called "postgres" (1st argument to psql).
Set a password for the "postgres" database role using the command:
postgres=# \password postgres
Enter new password: ******
Enter it again: ******
and give your password when prompted. The password text will be hidden from the console for security purposes.Type Control+D or \q to exit the posgreSQL prompt.
To allow access for postgre user, we need to modify config file- follow the steps to make changes :
$ sudo vi /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf
# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
local all postgres md5
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all md5
#local all all peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
Step 5- Restart PostgreSQL service and test postgres user access
To restart postgresql service-
To test postges user access
To restart postgresql service-
$ sudo systemctl restart postgresql
$ sudo psql -U postgres -W
Step 6- List all database
To display all current database details- Use the following command.
Step 8- Create user & assign permission to a database
Use the following command to create a new user and grant him access to the specific database.
To Create User
To display all current database details- Use the following command.
postgres=# \l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges -----------+----------+----------+---------+-------+----------------------- postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_IN | en_IN | template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_IN | en_IN | =c/postgres + | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_IN | en_IN | =c/postgres + | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres (3 rows)
Step 7- Create New Database-
To Create new database use following command.
postgres=# create database MyDB; CREATE DATABASE
Use the following command to create a new user and grant him access to the specific database.
To Create User
postgres=# create user amar; CREATE ROLE
Set password for User Name amar
postgres=# alter user amar password 'mypassword'; ALTER ROLE
Grant permission for user amar to database MyDB
postgres=# grant ALL on DATABASE mydb to amar; GRANT
Step 9- Test User access
In above example, I have created a user "amar" and given access to "mydb" database.
Let's try to connect with the server
In above example, I have created a user "amar" and given access to "mydb" database.
Let's try to connect with the server
amar@Server1:~$ sudo psql -U amar -W -d mydb
Password for user amar: ******
psql (9.5.12)
Type "help" for help.
mydb=>
Login working successfully for user "amar"
Cheers!!!
