PostgreSQL Connect Database

  • A database is a named collection of SQL objects ("database objects LIKE tables, functions,etc") that belongs to only one database. 
  • But there are a few system catalogs eg - pg_database, which belong to a whole cluster and are accessible from each database within the cluster.
Accurately, a database is a collection of schemas
Schemas contain the tables, functions, etc...
hierarchy is Server, database, schema, table
  • a client must specify its connection request and the name of the database it wants to connect to. It is not possible to access more than one database per connection.
  • But an application is not restricted in the number of connections it opens to the same or other databases. 
  • Databases arc physically separated and access control is managed at the connection level. If one PostgreSQL server instance is to house projects or users that should be separate and for the most part unaware of each other,
  • it is therefore recommendable to put them into separate databases.
  • If the projects or users are interraelated and hould be able to use each others resources they should be put in the same database, but possibly into separate schemas.
  • Schemas is logical structure for who can access what is managed by the privilege system.
Check Whether Our Postgres Server is run or not:
[postgres@r1 bin]$ ps -ef|grep post
root 5073 4719 0 14:24 pts/1 00:00:00 su - postgres
postgres 5074 5073 0 14:24 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash
root 5149 4996 0 14:27 pts/2 00:00:00 su - postgres
postgres 5150 5149 0 14:27 pts/2 00:00:00 -bash
postgres 5188 1 0 14:28 pts/2 00:00:00 /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/postgres -D /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/data

postgres 5215 5074 0 14:29 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -ef
postgres 5216 5074 0 14:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep post

Connect The Postgres Server:
[root@r1 data]# su - postgres  
[postgres@r1 bin]$ ./psql -p 5432 -U postgres -d postgres
Password for user postgres:
psql.bin (9.3.14)
Type "help" for help.

No entry for terminal type "xterm";
using dumb terminal settings.
postgres=#
Conform to connect the right port:
postgres=# select inet_server_port();

Conform to connected database:
postgres=# select current_database();

--------------
postgres
(1 row)
Conform to connected ip address:

Check what Postgresql version you are using:

postgres=# select version();
version
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
