Initializing the database

If you are using the embedded database, the PostgreSQL® database is installed and initialed during the installation.

Accessing the database

Prior to accessing a PostgreSQL® database, you must set the proper code page for Windows® platforms.

The PostgreSQL interactive terminal (psql) is built as a “console application”. The Windows console windows use a different encoding than the rest of the system, so you must take special care when using 8-bit characters within psql. If psql detects a problematic console code page, it generates a warning at startup.

Examples of cases when you must run this command include:

•
Connecting to the embedded database to check the database status or data.
•
Backing up and restoring the PostgreSQL database.
To change the console code page:
1
Set the code page by entering the following command:
cmd.exe /c chcp 1252
where: 1252 is a code page that is appropriate for German; you must replace it with your value.
2
Set the console font to “Lucida Console”, because the raster font does not work with the ANSI code page.
