Roundup

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should additionally install:

  1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher
  2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL

Note that you currently need at least version 2.8 of psycopg – the postgresql backend will work with 2.7 but if you’re using the native postgresql indexer you need at least 2.8. Also if you want to run the tests, these also need 2.8. If your distribution has an older version we suggest that you install into a python virtual environment.

Running the PostgreSQL unit tests

The user that you’re running the tests as will need to be able to access the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop databases. See the config values in ‘test/db_test_base.py’ about which database connection, name and user will be used.
