Summary
This chapter set the stage for beginning your experimentation with the PostgreSQL server. You learned not only how to download and install PostgreSQL, but also how to configure it to best fit your administrative and application needs. Other configuration issues are revisited throughout the remainder of this book as necessary.
In the next chapter you’ll learn how to effectively manage your newly installed PostgreSQL server, beginning with a detailed introduction to pg_ctl. You’ll also learn more about advanced configuration options, how to create and manage tablespaces, how to perform system maintenance tasks using Vacuum and Analyze, and how to both back up and recover your data.
