|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | 1 | sph | This article describes how you can use Quassel with the PostgreSQL database. It is written from a FreeBSD point of view, but the process should be very similar for any other system out there. |
| 4 | 1 | sph | |
| 5 | 1 | sph | Also make sure you have the qt4-pgsql plugin installed, otherwise Quassel will not support the PostgreSQL backend. |
| 6 | 1 | sph | |
| 7 | 1 | sph | h2. Preparing the database |
| 8 | 1 | sph | |
| 9 | 1 | sph | We will assume you installed PostgreSQL and properly ran the initdb script. |
| 10 | 1 | sph | |
| 11 | 1 | sph | Login using the database account (in my case pgsql) |
| 12 | 1 | sph | > <pre># su pgsql</pre> |
| 13 | 1 | sph | |
| 14 | 1 | sph | Now let's create the quassel database and assign an account. |
| 15 | 1 | sph | > <pre>$ createdb quassel |
| 16 | 1 | sph | $ psql quassel |
| 17 | 1 | sph | quassel=# create role quassel with password 'somepassword'; |
| 18 | 1 | sph | </pre> |
| 19 | 1 | sph | |
| 20 | 1 | sph | h2. Setting up the Quassel Core |
| 21 | 1 | sph | |
| 22 | 1 | sph | Now that the database is running properly, we are going to tell Quassel to use the correct backend. |
| 23 | 1 | sph | Use one of the two steps below and you're done! |
| 24 | 1 | sph | |
| 25 | 1 | sph | h3. For a new core |
| 26 | 1 | sph | |
| 27 | 1 | sph | > <pre>$ quasselcore --select-backend=PostgreSQL</pre> |
| 28 | 1 | sph | |
| 29 | 1 | sph | h3. To migrate an existing core |
| 30 | 1 | sph | |
| 31 | 1 | sph | > <pre>$ quasselcore --migrate-backend=PostgreSQL</pre> |
| 32 | 1 | sph | |
| 33 | 1 | sph | An interactive script will request the necessary information to migrate successfully. |
