NAME

       user_clusters - File linking users to PostgreSQL clusters

DESCRIPTION

       This  file maps users against the database clusters to which they will connect by default. However, every
       user can override these settings in ~/.postgresqlrc.

       When scanning this file, the first matching line will be used.  It is a good idea to  provide  a  default
       explicitly, with a final line where both user and group are set to *.

       If  there  is no default, the implicit default is to connect to the cluster listening on port 5432 and to
       the database matching the user's login name.

FORMAT

       Comments are introduced by the character #.  Comments may follow  data  on  a  line;  the  first  comment
       character terminates the data. Leading whitespace and blank lines are ignored.

       Each  uncommented,  non-blank  line must describe a user, group or the default (where both user and group
       are set to *).

       Fields must be given in the following order, separated by white space:

       USER   The login id of the Unix user to whom this line applies. The wildcard character * means any user.

       GROUP  The group name of the Unix group to which this line applies. The wildcard character  *  means  any
              group.

       VERSION
              The major PostgreSQL version of the cluster to connect to.

       CLUSTER
              The  name  of  a  cluster  to connect to. A remote cluster is specified with host:port. If port is
              empty, it defaults to 5432.

       DATABASE
              Within the cluster, the database to which the user will connect by default if he does not  specify
              a  database  on the command line.  If this is *, the default database will be the one named by the
              user's login id.

NOTES

       Since the first matching line is used, the default line must come last.
