NAME

       ADMIN CONNINFO - preamble - identifying PostgreSQL database

SYNOPSIS

       NODE ival ADMIN CONNINFO = 'DSN'; [ ival;] [ 'conninfo']

DESCRIPTION

       Describes  how the slonik utility can reach a node's database in the cluster from where it is run (likely
       the DBA's workstation). The conninfo string is the string agrument given to the PQconnectdb() libpq func‐
       tion.

       The slonik utility will not try to connect to a given database unless some  subsequent  command  requires
       the connection.
              Note

              As  mentioned  in  the original documents, Slony-I is designed as an enterprise replication system
              for data centers. It has been assumed throughout the entire development that the database  servers
              and  administrative workstations involved in replication and/or setup and configuration activities
              can use simple authentication schemes like ‘trust’. Alternatively, libpq can read  passwords  from
              .pgpass .
              Note

              If you need to change the DSN information for a node, as would happen if the IP address for a host
              were  to  change,  you must submit the new information using the SLONIK STORE PATH(7) command, and
              that configuration will be propagated. Existing slon processes may need to be restarted  in  order
              to become aware of the configuration change.

EXAMPLE

            NODE 1 ADMIN CONNINFO = 'dbname=testdb host=server1 user=slony';
