NAME
       INIT CLUSTER - Initialize Slony-I cluster


SYNOPSIS
       INIT CLUSTER [ID = integer] [COMMENT = ’string’]


DESCRIPTION
       Initialize  the  first  node  in a new Slony-I replication cluster. The
       initialization process consists  of  creating  the  cluster  namespace,
       loading all the base tables, functions, procedures and initializing the
       node,  using  “schemadocinitializelocalnode(  integer,  text  )”   [not
       available  as  a  man  page]  and “schemadocenablenode( integer )” [not
       available as a man page].

       ID     The unique, numeric ID number of the node.

       COMMENT = ’comment text’
              A descriptive  text  added  to  the  node  entry  in  the  table
              “sl_node” [not available as a man page].

       For this process to work, the SQL scripts of the Slony-I system must be
       installed on the DBA workstation (the computer currently executing  the
       slonik utility), while on the system where the node database is running
       the shared objects of the Slony-I  system  must  be  installed  in  the
       PostgreSQL  library directory. Also the procedural language PL/pgSQL is
       assumed to already be installed in the target database.


EXAMPLE
       INIT CLUSTER (
          ID = 1,
          COMMENT = ’Node 1’
       );

              Note

              This command functions very  similarly  to  STORE  NODE(7),  the
              difference  being  that  INIT  CLUSTER  does  not  need  to draw
              configuration from other existing nodes.


LOCKING BEHAVIOUR
       This command creates a new namespace and configures tables therein;  no
       public objects should be locked during the duration of this.


VERSION INFORMATION
       This command was introduced in Slony-I 1.0

                               19 September 2008               INIT CLUSTER(7)
