PostgreSQL Database Requirements

PostgreSQL Database Requirements

Use the following guidelines when you set up the database on PostgreSQL:
  • Verify that the database user account has CONNECT, CREATE TABLE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
  • Specify the database schema name when you use PostgreSQL as the database.
  • Ensure that PostgreSQL has sufficient disk space for the data files. By default, the data files are present in the following location:
    <PostgreSQL installation directory>/data
  • On the database, set the configuration parameters.
    The following table lists the minimum and recommended values for the configuration parameters:
