Port notes

This port is for a software version that is no longer receiving upstream updates. It may have security vulnerabilities or other issues that will not be fixed. Newer versions are provided as separate ports. To create a database instance, after install do
sudo mkdir -p ${prefix}/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb
sudo chown postgres:postgres ${prefix}/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb
sudo -u postgres /bin/sh -c '${prefix}/lib/postgresql83/bin/initdb -D ${prefix}/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb'

To tweak your DBMS, consider increasing kern.sysv.shmmax by adding an increased kern.sysv.shmmax .. to /etc/sysctl.conf

Note that this is the last release of the 8.3 series, upgrade! A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting postgresql83-server with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:

sudo port load postgresql83-server
