The PostgreSQL database used with DiversityNavigator is modified to accomodate the long table names that occured in the original Microsoft Access databases. There is an overview over the versions of the database packages.
You can obtain the modified version from the download page.
The database is provided as RPM packages that can be installed under SuSE Linux (>= 8.1). The packages are in the Redhat Package Manager format and under SuSE Linux the can be installed using Yast.
You have to install the version that corresponds to your (Suse) linux:
Suse version | PostgreSQL package version |
---|---|
7.3 | 7.1.3-12 |
8.0 | 7.2.2-16 |
8.1 | 7.2-70 |
To install them, simply click on a package using a graphical filemanager like KDM. This will open a package description that contains a button showing "Install package with YaST" (or a similar message in another language). Click this button to install the package.
Alternatively you can install the packages from the command line, using the
rpm
program. For example:
rpm -i <packagename>
To set up your own database, you have to install all of the PostgreSQL packages of the version you need for your (Suse) linux.
