ubuntu - PostgreSQL default cluster? -
i running postgresql 9.3 on ubuntu 14.04 lts. didn't remember creating cluster directly went create database.
using pg_lsclusters
, found have cluster following db
ver cluster port status owner data directory 9.3 main 5432 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main
i reading postgresql documentation couldn't find relevant info.
i have following questions:
- does postgresql automatically create default cluster? , if so, practice use it?
- does postgresql automatically start default cluster? never started status online , can see in system-monitor.
thanks clarifications!
you're asking "postgresql on debian or ubuntu", it's packaging , wrapper utilities doing this, not postgresql self.
see the postgresql on ubuntu community wiki information. applies debian too, since uses same style of packaging postgresql.
to specific questions:
does postgresql automatically create default cluster? , if so, practice use it?
strictly pg_wrapper
, ubuntu/debian tool manages postgresql installs, creates it. yes, it's fine use , there's not reason not to.
does postgresql automatically start default cluster?
this depends on operating system , postgresql packages, not on postgresql self. information on how configure starts on ubuntu, see boot howto - ubuntu community wiki.
