Introduction
EDB EnterpriseDB is a robust and feature-rich open-source database management system (DBMS) built upon PostgreSQL. If you're considering leveraging EDB EnterpriseDB for your Linux environment, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the installation process.
Installation steps
update your package manager
sudo apt update
. Set up the EDB repository
Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you don't need to perform this step.
To determine if your repository exists, enter this command:
apt-cache search enterprisedb
If no output is generated, the repository isn't installed.
To set up the EDB repository:
- Go to EDB repositories.
- Select the button that provides access to the EDB repo.
- Select the platform and software that you want to download.
Install the package
sudo apt-get -y install edb-as<xx>-server
Where <xx> is the version of the EDB Postgres Advanced server you are installing. For example, if you are installing version 15, the package name would be edb-as15-server.
To install an individual component:
sudo apt-get -y install <package_name>
Initial configuration
This section steps you through getting started with your cluster including logging in, ensuring the installation was successful, connecting to your cluster, and creating the user password.
To work in your cluster, login as the enterprisedb user. Connect to the database server using the psql command line client (although you can use a client of your choice with the appropriate connection string).
sudo su - enterprisedb
psql edb
The server runs with the peer or ident permission by default. You can change the authentication method by modifying the pg_hba.conf file.
Before changing the authentication method, assign a password to the database superuser, enterprisedb. For more information on changing the authentication, see modifying the pg_hba.conf file.
ALTER ROLE enterprisedb IDENTIFIED BY password;
