Talk:PostgreSQL

Hi,

Might be good to explain how to configure use of a non-standard PG_DATA dir. For example, if using Amazon EC2 EBS volumes, there's a choice between mounting the volume in /var/lib/postgresql/data (and getting rid of the existing contents), or mounting it elsewhere, perhaps in /mnt, and setting $PG_DATA accordingly. I'm not clear of the best way to set PG_DATA though; perhaps in rc.local ?

Update: as per http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/PostgreSQL/Install#Configuring settings should go in /etc/conf.d/postgresql

If you want anything from that archival page, there are some notes on grabbing legacy wiki content.
