PG_WRAPPER(1) Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure PG_WRAPPER(1)
NAME
pg_wrapper - wrapper for PostgreSQL client commands
SYNOPSIS
client-program [--cluster version/cluster] [...]
(client-program: psql, createdb, dropuser, and all other client programs installed in
/usr/lib/postgresql/version/bin).
DESCRIPTION
This program is run only as a link to names which correspond to PostgreSQL programs in
/usr/lib/postgresql/version/bin. It determines the configured cluster and database for the
user and calls the appropriate version of the desired program to connect to that cluster
and database, supplying any specified options to that command.
The target cluster is selected by the following means, in descending order of precedence:
1. explicit specification with the --host option
2. explicit specification with the --cluster option
3. if the PGHOST environment variable is set, no further cluster selection is performed.
The default PostgreSQL version and port number (from the command line, the environment
variable PGPORT, or default 5432) will be used.
4. explicit specification with the PGCLUSTER environment variable
5. matching entry in ~/.postgresqlrc (see postgresqlrc(5)), if that file exists
6. matching entry in /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters (see user_clusters(5)), if that
file exists
7. If only one cluster exists on the local system, that one will be selected.
8. If several clusters exist on the local system, the one listening on the default port
5432 will be selected.
If none of these rules match, pg_wrapper does not set any environment variables and the
program called will likely error out with a message like "could not connect to server:
Connection refused".
For psql, pg_archivecleanup, and pg_isready, pg_wrapper will always use the binary from
the newest PostgreSQL version installed, as these are downwards compatible.
Note that pg_wrapper needs to be able to read the server config to get the port number to
connect to. If a non-standard port is configured in a place that pg_wrapper cannot read,
connecting will fail. This particularly holds if the port was configured via ALTER SYSTEM
in postgresql.auto.conf and pg_wrapper is invoked as any user other than postgres and
root.
OPTIONS
--cluster version/cluster
--cluster version/host:[port]
cluster is either the name of a cluster on the local system, or takes the form
host:port for a remote cluster. If port is left empty (i. e. you just specify host:),
it defaults to 5432.
ENVIRONMENT
PGCLUSTER
If $PGCLUSTER is set, its value (of the form version/cluster) specifies the desired
cluster, similar to the --cluster option. However, if --cluster is specified, it
overrides the value of $PGCLUSTER.
PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT
This specifies an alternative base directory for cluster configurations. This is
usually /etc/postgresql/, but for testing/development purposes you can change this to
point to e. g. your home directory, so that you can use the postgresql-common tools
without root privileges.
PGSYSCONFDIR
This is the location of PostgreSQL's and postgresql-common's global configuration (e.
g. pg_service.conf, user_clusters(5)). The default is /etc/postgresql-common/.
FILES
/etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters
stores the default cluster and database for users and groups as set by the
administrators.
$HOME/.postgresqlrc
stores defaults set by the user himself.
