2. Installation of PostgreSQL
2.1 Download Site
PostGIS is an extension to the PostgreSQL relation database management system.
This section will first walk through the installation of PostgreSQL and then PostGIS
on a Windows XP environment using the provided installer. The latest PostgreSQL
installer can be downloaded from http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows
2.2 Installation
3rd Step - In the event that you want to install PostgreSQL application binaries into
a non-standard directory, enter the path here. For the purposes of this workshop we
will use the default. Click Next.
4th Step - The directory where PostgreSQL data will reside can also be installed into
a non-standard directory. This is especially useful to drop your data on a RAID
array. We have no such hardware, so we will be using the default path. Click Next.
5th Step - Enter a password for the newly-created postgres superuser account.
Remember this password! We will use the password postgres in our examples, so
we will recommend you use this as well
6th Step - This is your opportunity to enter a non-standard port for PostgreSQL. For
our purposes we will accept the default (5432) and click Next.
7th Step - The Default Locale option will reflect the locale (location) setting of the
host operating system and is sufficient for this workshop. Uncheck the option that
says Install pl/pgsql in template1 database. Click Next.
10th Sleep - Ensure that the Launch Stack Builder at exit? Option is selected, then
click Finish.
