    Creating Database

    Advanced users can create their own table space

    We are going to create a database for CloverDX to use a 'user group' role which will own the database and a user role which we will add to the user group. This user role will be then used by the Server to access the database.

    Database name: clover_db

    UserGroup: cloverdx

    User: clover

    Password: clover

    1. Optionally, you can create a new tablespace

    2. Connect as postgres (default admin) to the default DB postgres and execute the following commands:

      CREATE ROLE cloverdx NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOINHERIT NOLOGIN;
      CREATE ROLE clover NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'clover';
      GRANT cloverdx TO clover;
      CREATE DATABASE clover_db;
      GRANT ALL ON DATABASE clover_db TO cloverdx;
      REVOKE ALL ON DATABASE clover_db FROM public;

    To separate the database into its own tablespace, create a tablespace before creating the database.

    and use the following command to create the database:

    CREATE DATABASE clover_db WITH OWNER cloverdx TABLESPACE tablespace_name;

    For more information, see the PostgreSQL documentation.

    CloverDX Server Setup

    Example of a properties file configuration:

    jdbc.driverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver
    jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/clover_db?charSet=UTF-8
    jdbc.username=clover
    jdbc.password=clover
    jdbc.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect

    Add a JDBC 4 compliant driver on the classpath. A JDBC driver which doesn't meet the JDBC 4 specifications won't work properly.

    The JDBC driver for PostgreSQL can be downloaded from the official PostgreSQL page.

    Example for Apache Tomcat: place the libraries into the TOMCAT/lib directory.

    See also PostgreSQL documentation on jdbc URL.
