PG中,数据的组织结构可以分为以下3层: 1. 数据库:1个PostgreSQL数据库服务下可以管理多个数据库; 2. 表、索引:注:1般的PG中,表的术语叫relation,而其他数据库中为table 3. 数据行:注:PG中行的术语1般为tuple,而在其他数据库中则为row 在PostgreSQL中,1个数据库服务(或叫实例)下可以有多个数据库,而1个数据库不能属于多个实例。但是在Oracle中,1个实例只能有1个数据库,但1个数据库可以在多个实例中(rac) 数据库基本操作:创建数据库、删除数据库、修改数据库等 创建数据库: create database db_name; 可以指定所属用户、模板(默许为templete1)、字符编码,表空间等 修改数据库: alter database db_name with option; 可以修改连接限制、重命名数据库、修改数据库所属用户等 删除数据库: drop database db_name; 示例: postgres=# \l+ List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges | Size | Tablespace | Description -----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+-------------------------------------------- postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | | 7359 kB | pg_default | default administrative connection database template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | unmodifiable empty database | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | default template for new databases | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | (3 rows) postgres=# create database test owner=postgres template=template1 encoding=utf8 tablespace=pg_default connection limit=⑴; CREATE DATABASE postgres=# \l+ List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges | Size | Tablespace | Description -----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+-------------------------------------------- postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | | 7359 kB | pg_default | default administrative connection database template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | unmodifiable empty database | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | default template for new databases | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | test | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | | 7225 kB | pg_default | (4 rows) postgres=# alter database test rename to testn; ALTER DATABASE postgres=# create tablespace test location '/home/postgres/test'; CREATE TABLESPACE postgres=# alter database testn tablespace test; ALTER DATABASE postgres=# \l+ List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges | Size | Tablespace | Description -----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+-------------------------------------------- postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | | 7359 kB | pg_default | default administrative connection database template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | unmodifiable empty database | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | default template for new databases | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | testn | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | | 7225 kB | test | (4 rows) postgres=# postgres=# drop database test; ERROR: database "test" does not exist postgres=# drop database if exists test; NOTICE: database "test" does not exist, skipping DROP DATABASE postgres=# drop database if exists testn; postgres=# \l+ List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges | Size | Tablespace | Description -----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+-------------------------------------------- postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | | 7359 kB | pg_default | default administrative connection database template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | unmodifiable empty database | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF⑻ | en_US.UTF⑻ | =c/postgres +| 7225 kB | pg_default | default template for new databases | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres | | | (3 rows)
