postgresql14 has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 18 Jan 2023 03:08:17 +00:00:

postgresql14 has failed automated package testing (verification).
Please visit https://gist.github.com/92df6bdb60a8b575939ebc7a639bec78 for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.

We've found postgresql14 v14.6.2 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move postgresql14 v14.6.2 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) based on POSTGRE, developed at the University of California at Berkeley Computer Science Department. POSTGRES pioneered many concepts that only became available in some commercial database systems much later.

PostgreSQL can be used, modified, and distributed by anyone free of charge for any purpose, be it private, commercial, or academic.

Features

Package parameters

  • /AllowRemote - Allow remote connections with username and password from all hosts by adding appropriate lines in the pg_hba.conf
  • /Password - Password to be assigned to the postgres user. If omitted, it will be generated and shown in the install output. PostgreSql installer ignores this parameter if there is existing installation.
  • /Port - Server port, if not set it defaults to 5432 or the first available port after it.
  • /NoPath - Do not add PostgreSql bin directory to the PATH.

Other parameters could be set via --ia argument, for example, to set custom components:

choco install postgresql13 --params '/Password:test /Port:5433' --ia '--enable-components server,commandlinetools'

Check all installer options by adding --help as command line argument.

Notes

  • Test installation (specify your password):
    $Env:PGPASSWORD='test'; '\conninfo' | psql -Upostgres
    This should output:
    You are connected to database "postgres" as user "postgres" on host "localhost" at port "5432"
  • This package will install PostgreSQL to $Env:ProgramFiles\PostgreSQL\[MajorVersion].
  • If you have problems during installation see troubleshooting page.
  • If you didn't specify password during setup and didn't record the generated one, you need manually reset it using the following steps:
    • Open file data\pg_hba.conf in PostgreSql installation directory
    • Change METHOD to trust and restart service with Restart-Service postgresql*
    • Execute "alter user postgres with password '[my password]';" | psql -Upostgres
    • Revert back data\pg_hba.conf to METHOD md5 and restart service
  • If you have trouble selecting specific install components see this issue

Virtual package

Each major version has its own package: postgresql<Version>

Virtual package postgresql also contains all versions that depend on adequate major version, but using it without problems require some special choco parameters.

To propagate package parameters to dependencies use --params-global choco install parameter with virtual package postgresql. Assuming latest version is 12, to provide password the following two examples result in identical installation:

cinst postgresql --params '/Password:test' --params-global
cinst postgresql12 --params '/Password:test'

To uninstall dependent package use --force-dependencies:

# The following two examples are identical
cuninst postgresql --force-dependencies
cuninst postgresql12 postgresql

# This example uninstalls only postgresql virtual package and not postgresql12
cuninst postgresql

To force reinstallation via virtual package use --force-dependencies:

# The following two examples are identical
cinst postgresql --force --force-dependencies
cinst postgresql12 --force --force-dependencies

# This will reinstall only postgresql virtual package and not its dependency postgresql12
cinst postgresql -force

# This one is different then the first one as vcredist140 dependency is not reinstalled
cinst postgresql12 --force
