Help Please!

Hi Maada,

There are a couple of ways to get various versions of PostgreSQL onto
a Ubuntu 7.04 machine. Since you are already using a X session,
although I missed the statement on which variation it is, you might
want to check out syntapic for managing, searching, and installing
packages.

However, here are some instructions that will work on anything you can
open a terminal with a shell:

1) sudo tasksel install postgresql-server

That will install the most recently packaged version of PostgreSQL and
related packages (the -doc is included for instance, among others) for
7.04.

You can see all packages included with it beforehand via:

sudo tasksel -t --task-packages postgresql-server

2) Pick individual packages via personal selection from:

apt-cache search --names-only postgresql 

You may notice PostgreSQL 8.1 is available thru this method, if for
some reason it is required. Also, various P/L support packages, not
included in the tasksel task I gave earlier, is available this way.

Once you have found the package(s) you want, run this to install
(replacing <package1> and subsequent packages with the literal package
names you want to install):

sudo apt-get install <package1> <package2> <packageN>

I don't know of a way to import a full database schema via pgadmin3.
But the way Mike mentioned in this email thread will work.

The January F2F is on the second Saturday of the month.

Until next time,
