- Description:
- PostgreSQL is a sophisticated Object-Relational DBMS, supporting
almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and
user-defined types and functions. It is the most advanced open-source
database available anywhere. Commercial Support is also available.
The original Postgres code was the effort of many graduate students,
undergraduate students, and staff programmers working under the direction of
Professor Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley. In
1995, Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen took on the task of converting the DBMS query
language to SQL and created a new database system which came to known as
Postgres95. Many others contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and
enhancement of the Postgres95 code. As the code improved, and 1995 faded into
memory, PostgreSQL was born.
PostgreSQL development is presently being performed by a team of Internet
developers who are now responsible for all current and future development. The
development team coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@PostgreSQL.ORG).
Support is available from the PostgreSQL developer/user community through the
support mailing list (questions@PostgreSQL.ORG).
PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.

- For install:
- For procedural languages and postgresql functions, please note that
you might have to update them when updating the server.
If you have many tables and many clients running, consider raising
kern.maxfiles using sysctl(8), or reconfigure your kernel
appropriately.
The port is set up to use autovacuum for new databases, but you might
also want to vacuum and perhaps backup your database regularly. There
is a periodic script, /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/502.pgsql, that
you may find useful. You can use it to backup and perform vacuum on all
databases nightly. Per default, it performs `vacuum analyze'. See the
script for instructions. For autovacuum settings, please review
~postgres/data/postgresql.conf.
If you plan to access your PostgreSQL server using ODBC, please
consider running the SQL script /usr/local/share/postgresql/odbc.sql
to get the functions required for ODBC compliance.
Please note that if you use the rc script,
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql, to initialize the database, unicode
(UTF-8) will be used to store character data by default. Set
postgresql_initdb_flags or use login.conf settings described below to
alter this behaviour. See the start rc script for more info.
To set limits, environment stuff like locale and collation and other
things, you can set up a class in /etc/login.conf before initializing
the database. Add something similar to this to /etc/login.conf:
---
postgres:\
:lang=en_US.UTF-8:\
:setenv=LC_COLLATE=C:\
:tc=default:
---
and run `cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf'.
Then add 'postgresql_login_class="postgres"' to /etc/rc.conf, or
set it as the postgres user's login class in /etc/passwd.
======================================================================
To use PostgreSQL, enable it in rc.conf using
sysrc postgresql_enable=yes
To initialize the database, run
service postgresql initdb
You can then start PostgreSQL by running:
service postgresql start
For postmaster settings, see ~postgres/data/postgresql.conf
NB. FreeBSD's PostgreSQL port logs to syslog by default
See ~postgres/data/postgresql.conf for more info
NB. If you're not using a checksumming filesystem like ZFS, you might
wish to enable data checksumming. It can be enabled during
the initdb phase, by adding the "--data-checksums" flag to
the postgresql_initdb_flags rcvar. Otherwise you can enable it later by
using pg_checksums. Check the initdb(1) manpage for more info
and make sure you understand the performance implications.

| Notes from UPDATING |
- These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
- 2024-07-23
Affects: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run Author: kbowling@FreeBSD.org Reason:
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 15 to 16.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 15, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql15-server postgresql15-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql15-server-15.7.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql15-contrib-15.7.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql15-server databases/postgresql15-contrib databases/postgresql15-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data16 -U postgres"
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data15/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data16/ -U postgres "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

databases/postgresql??-*: Upgrade to latest versions
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all
supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 17.4, 16.8, 15.12, 14.17,
and 13.20.
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 17. Some of these issues may
also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.
Improve behavior of quoting functions in libpq. The fix for
CVE-2025-1094 caused the quoting functions to not honor their string
length parameters and, in some cases, cause crashes. This problem could
be noticeable from a PostgreSQL client library, based on how it is
integrated with libpq.
Fix small memory leak in pg_createsubscriber.
Also fix a problem in the FreeBSD port, where the rc script wouldn't
return properly, messing up orchestration tools like ansible. [1]

databases/postgresql??-*: Update to latest version
The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 17. Some of these issues may
also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.
- Restore functionality of ALTER ROLE .. SET ROLE and ALTER DATABASE ..
SET ROLE. The fix for CVE-2024-10978 accidentally caused settings for
role to not be applied if they came from non-interactive sources,
including previous ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE} commands and the PGOPTIONS
environment variable.
- Restore compatibility for the timescaledb and other PostgreSQL
