<a name="redland-storage-module-postgresql"></a>Store 'postgresql'</h2></div></div></div>
<p>This module is based on the MySQL store and is compiled in when
PostgreSQL is available. This store provides storage using the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.postgresql.org/" target="_top">PostgreSQL</a>
open source database including contexts. This store was added in
Redland 1.0.3.</p>
<p>There are several options required with the postgresql storage
in order to connect to the database. These are:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p><code class="literal">host</code> for the database server hostname</p></li>
<li><p><code class="literal">port</code> for the database server port (defaults to the Postgresql port 3306 if not given)</p></li>
<li><p><code class="literal">database</code> for the Postgresql database name (not the storage name)</p></li>
<li><p><code class="literal">user</code> for the database server user name</p></li>
<li><p><code class="literal">password</code> for the database server password</p></li>
<li><p><code class="literal">database</code> for the Postgresql database name (not the storage name)</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>NOTE: Before Redland 1.0.5, the
parameter <code class="literal">dbname</code> had to be used instead
of <code class="literal">database</code> for the Postgresql database name.</p>
<p>NOTE: Take care exposing the password as for example, program
arguments or environment variables. The rdfproc utility can with
help this by reading the password from standard input. Inside
programs, one way to prevent storing the password in a string is to
construct a Redland hash of the storage options such as
via <code class="literal">librdf_hash_from_string</code> and use
<code class="literal">librdf_new_storage_with_options</code> to create a storage.
The rdfproc utility source code demonstrates this.
</p>
<p>The storage name parameter given to the storage constructor
<code class="literal">librdf_new_storage</code> is used inside the postgresql
store to allow multiple stores inside one PostgreSQL database
instance as parameterised with the above optiosn.</p>
<p>If boolean option <code class="literal">new</code> is given, any existing
PostgreSQL database named by the storage
option <code class="literal">database</code>, say
<span class="emphasis"><em>db</em></span> will be dropped and the appropriate new
tables created. The PostgreSQL database <span class="emphasis"><em>db</em></span> must
already exist, such as made with the PostgreSQL <code class="literal">create
database </code><span class="emphasis"><em>db</em></span> command and the
appropriate priviledges set so that the user and password
work.</p>
<p>This store always provides contexts; the boolean storage option
<code class="literal">contexts</code> is not checked.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
/* A new PostgreSQL store */
storage=librdf_new_storage(world, "postgresql", "db1",
"new='yes',host='localhost',database='red',user='foo','password='bar'");
/* A different, existing PostgreSQL store db2 in the same database as above */
storage=librdf_new_storage(world, "postgresql", "db2",
"host='localhost',database='red',user='foo','password='bar'");
/* An existing PostgreSQL store on a different database server */
storage=librdf_new_storage(world, "postgresql", "db3",
"host='db.example.org',database='abc',user='baz','password='blah'");
/* Opening with an options hash */
options=librdf_new_hash(world, NULL);
librdf_hash_from_string(options,
"host='db.example.org',database='abc',user='baz'");
librdf_hash_put_strings(options, "password", user_password);
storage=librdf_new_storage_with_options(world, "postgresql", "db4", options);
</pre>
<p>In PHP:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
# An existing store
$storage=librdf_new_storage($world, 'postgresql', 'db4',
"host='127.0.0.1',database='xyz',user='foo',password='blah'");
</pre>
<p>Summary:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p>Persistent</p></li>
<li><p>Suitable for very large models</p></li>
<li><p>Indexed but not optimised</p></li>
<li><p>Smaller disk usage than BDB</p></li>
<li><p>Contexts always provided</p></li>
