clusterdb 1 Application clusterdb cluster a PostgreSQL database clusterdb clusterdb connection-option --table | -t table dbname clusterdb connection-option --all-a clusterdb is a utility for reclustering tables in a PostgreSQL database. It finds tables that have previously been clustered, and clusters them again on the same index that was last used. Tables that have never been clustered are not affected. clusterdb is a wrapper around the SQL command . There is no effective difference between clustering databases via this utility and via other methods for accessing the server. clusterdb accepts the following command-line arguments: -a --all Cluster all databases. -d dbname --dbname dbname Specifies the name of the database to be clustered. If this is not specified and -a (or --all) is not used, the database name is read from the environment variable PGDATABASE. If that is not set, the user name specified for the connection is used. -e --echo Echo the commands that clusterdb generates and sends to the server. -q --quiet Do not display a response. -t table --table table Cluster table only. clusterdb also accepts the following command-line arguments for connection parameters: -h host --host host Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix domain socket. -p port --port port Specifies the TCP port or local Unix domain socket file extension on which the server is listening for connections. -U username --username username User name to connect as. -W --password Force password prompt. PGDATABASE PGHOST PGPORT PGUSER Default connection parameters In case of difficulty, see and for discussions of potential problems and error messages. The database server must be running at the targeted host. Also, any default connection settings and environment variables used by the libpq front-end library will apply. To cluster the database test: $ clusterdb test To cluster a single table foo in a database named xyzzy: $ clusterdb --table foo xyzzy Environment Variables ()
