Now PostGreSQL and PostGIS have been installed we need to create the Data Share database. This is done using PGAdmin III.

  • Select Start>Programs>PostgreSQL 9.0>PGAdminIII

  • Double click on the PostgreSQL Database Server to connect
  • Enter the password for the postgres user that you entered when you installed PostgreSQL and click OK.

  • Right click on Login Roles and select New Login Role

  • On the Properties tab enter the following:

Role Name: iShareData

Password: isharedata

  • Click on the Role Privileges tab.

  • Check the Superuser checkbox which will automatically select the Can modify catalogue directly entry.
  • Click OK

  • Right click on Databases and select New Database

  • Enter the following:

Name: iShareData_XXX where XXX = Customer short name, e.g. iShareData_CCC

Owner: iShareData

Encoding: UTF-8

Tablespace: pg_default

  • Click OK

Now the database has been created, we need to run AstunPG Installer in order to install the specific Astun functions and tables.
