Setting up PostgreSQL databases

Perforce does not provide support for installing, configuring, or maintaining PostgreSQL. A qualified PostgreSQL database administrator should install and configure the database.

Keep the following in mind:

• Do not add, delete, or modify any fields in the QA Wizard Pro tables.
• Do not directly add, edit, or delete any data in the tables.
• Do not create different primary keys. This will adversely affect application performance.
• Do not create complex triggers on any of the tables. Triggers may cause severe database issues and correcting these issues is not covered by Perforce.
• Create a process to back up database tables on a regular schedule.

• Running PostgreSQL and the QA Wizard Pro Server on the same computer can result in slow performance if not configured correctly. Make sure PostgreSQL is configured correctly to avoid using all the system memory.

Creating server database tables

The QA Wizard Pro Server automatically creates tables in PostgreSQL when you start the server or convert the server database. The QAWServerDbCreate.sql script file, which is located in the PostgreSQL directory in the QA Wizard Pro application directory, is used to create the tables.
