$ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "matsuda".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale ja_JP.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
initdb: could not find suitable text search configuration for locale ja_JP.UTF-8
The default text search configuration will be set to "simple".

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the
next time you run initdb.
Success. You can now start the database server using:
postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres
or
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l logfile start

==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, so it was not symlinked into /usr/local.
OS X provides the BSD libedit library, which shadows libreadline.
In order to prevent conflicts when programs look for libreadline we are
defaulting this GNU Readline installation to keg-only.
Generally there are no consequences of this for you.
If you build your own software and it requires this formula, you'll need
to add its lib & include paths to your build variables:
LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.2/lib
CPPFLAGS -I/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.2/include

# Build Notes
If builds of PostgreSQL 9 are failing and you have version 8.x installed,
you may need to remove the previous version first. See:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/issue/2510
To build plpython against a specific Python, set PYTHON prior to brewing:
PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python brew install postgresql
See:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/install-procedure.html
# Create/Upgrade a Database
If this is your first install, create a database with:
initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
To migrate existing data from a previous major version (pre-9.1) of PostgreSQL, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/upgrading.html
# Start/Stop PostgreSQL
If this is your first install, automatically load on login with:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.4/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
If this is an upgrade and you already have the homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist loaded:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
cp /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.4/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
Or start manually with:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
And stop with:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast
# Loading Extensions
By default, Homebrew builds all available Contrib extensions. To see a list of all
available extensions, from the psql command line, run:
SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions;
To load any of the extension names, navigate to the desired database and run:
CREATE EXTENSION [extension name];
For instance, to load the tablefunc extension in the current database, run:
CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc;
For more information on the CREATE EXTENSION command, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createextension.html
For more information on extensions, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/contrib.html
# Other
Some machines may require provisioning of shared memory:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/kernel-resources.html#SYSVIPC
To install postgresql (and ossp-uuid) in 32-bit mode:
brew install postgresql --32-bit
If you want to install the postgres gem, including ARCHFLAGS is recommended:
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg
To install gems without sudo, see the Homebrew wiki.
