NAME¶
pg_renamecluster - rename a PostgreSQL cluster
SYNOPSIS¶
pg_renamecluster version oldname newname
DESCRIPTION¶
pg_renamecluster changes the name of a PostgreSQL cluster, i. e. the name
of the config directory in /etc/postgresql/
version/ along with the
data directory in /var/lib/postgresql/
version/. Existing log files in
/var/log/postgresql/ are also renamed. The cluster is stopped and started for
the operation.
The following
postgresql.conf config options are updated to refer to the
changed path names:
data_directory,
hba_file,
ident_file,
external_pid_file,
stats_temp_directory.
Cluster names are a Debian convention, the name is not explicitly known to the
cluster itself. From the PostgreSQL viewpoint, the name is merely a substring
of various path names.
OPTIONS¶
None.
