Setup PostgreSQL

without comments

After you have installed PostgeSQL on Fedora 27 and initialized the database, you have several steps to configure a new instance. This blog post shows you how to create all the implementation pieces for a student database.

Connect as the postgres user from a sudoer user. It requires you to connect as the root user before you connect as the postgres user.

sudo sh

As the root user, you don’t need a password to connect as the postgres user:

su - postgres

As the postgres user, you own the PostgreSQL database and can connect to the database like the following:

[postgres@localhost ~]$ psql
psql (9.6.8)
Type "help" for help.
 
postgres=#

After you connect as the privileged postgres user, you can check the default data location with the following command:

postgres=# show data_directory;

It will return:

   data_directory    
---------------------
 /var/lib/pgsql/data
(1 row)

After you’ve initialized the PostgreSQL database, you may need to restart your database manually unless you configure the server to start it when you boot your server. The syntax to start the PostgreSQL database at the command-line as the postgres privileged user is:

postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data &

You can find detailed instructions in Chapter 18.3 Starting the Database Server web page. There are several options available to you to automate the starting process.

The instructions to build a postgresql.service actually require modification for Fedora 27. You should create the following file in the /etc/systemd/system directory:

[Unit]
Description=PostgreSQL database server
Documentation=man:postgres(1)
 
[Service]
Type=notify
User=postgres
ExecStart=/usr/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=mixed
KillSignal=SIGINT
TimeoutSec=0
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You can start the PostgreSQL service with the following command:

systemctl start postgresql.service >/dev/null

The following steps create tablespace, database, role, and user:

  1. Create Tablespace

You can create a video_db tablespace with the following syntax:

CREATE TABLESPACE video_db
  OWNER postgres
  LOCATION '/var/lib/pgsql/data';

This will return the following:

WARNING:  tablespace location should not be inside the data directory
CREATE TABLESPACE

The warning only lets you know that you really shouldn’t create table spaces in the default data directory. You can query whether you successfully create the video_db tablespace with the following:

SELECT * FROM pg_tablespace;

It should return the following:

  spcname   | spcowner | spcacl | spcoptions 
------------+----------+--------+------------
 pg_default |       10 |        | 
 pg_global  |       10 |        | 
 video_db   |       10 |        | 
(3 rows)
  1. Create a Database

You can create a videodb database with the following syntax:

CREATE DATABASE videodb
  WITH OWNER = postgres
       ENCODING = 'UTF8'
       TABLESPACE = video_db
       LC_COLLATE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
       LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
       CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;

Then, you can assign comment to the database with the following syntax:

COMMENT ON DATABASE videodb IS 'Video Database';
  1. Create a Role, Grant, and User

In this section you create a dba role, grant privileges on a videodb database to a role, and create a user with the role that you created previously with the following three statements. There are three steps in this sections.

  • The first step creates a dba role: 

    CREATE ROLE dba WITH SUPERUSER;
  • The second step grants all privileges on a videodb database to a dba role: 

    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE videodb TO dba;
  • The third step creates a student user with the dba role: 

    CREATE USER student
  WITH ROLE dba
       PASSWORD 'student';
  1. Connect to the videodb as the student user

You connect to the videodb database as the student user with the following command:

sql -d videodb -U student;

After connecting to the videodb database, you can query the current database, like

SELECT current_database();

It should return the following:

 current_database 
------------------
 videodb
(1 row)

This has shown you how to create a videodb database, dba role, and student user.

Fedora User Manager

without comments

As one of my students pointed out, Fedora doesn’t install a GUI user management tool installed by default. That’s true. It’s easy to install. You can install it as the root user, like:

yum install -y system-config-users

It should generate a screen console output like this when successfully installed:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit

Complete!

You can verify the GUI user management tool is present with the following command:

which system-config-users

It should return this:

/bin/system-config-users

You can run the GUI user management tool from the root user account or any sudoer account. The following shows how to launch the GUI User Manager from a sudoer account:

sudo system-config-users

It will generate the following GUI User Manager screen:

As always, I hope this helps those trying to do some that should be a basic task that seems to get lost form the books and manuals beginners use.

Python variable not defined

without comments

While working with a programming example for my students, I ran into an interesting run-time error when I changed their approach to importing Python’s random module. Here’s the raised error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "windowBouncingBalls.py", line 84, in <module>
    speed = [choice([-2,2]), choice([-2,2])]
NameError: name 'choice' is not defined

You raise the missing choice identifier when two things occur. The first thing requires you to use a standard import statement, like the following example, and the second thing requires you to continue to reference the identifier as “choice“.

import random

You can avoid the error by making the import of random like this:

from random import *

Or, you can leave the ordinary import statement and fully qualify the choice identifier with the random module name, like this:

    speed = [random.choice([-2,2]), random.choice([-2,2])]

As always, I hope this helps those who encounter a similar problem.

Install PyGame on Fedora

without comments

The PyGame library is a wonderful tool for building games with Python. It lets you accomplish a great deal by simply managing events. You need to understand how to use Python functions, modules, and events to build games with this Python library.

You can download and install the PyGame library with the yum utility like this:

yum install -y pygame

It should generate the following list when you install it as the root user:

Basic Python Object

with one comment

One of my students wanted a quick example of a Python object with getters and setters. So, I wrote a little example that I’ll share.

You define this file in a physical directory that is in your $PYTHONPATH, like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26

# Define Coordinate class.
class Coordinate:
  # The method that initializes the Coordinate class.
  def __init__ (self, x, y):
    self.x = x
    self.y = y
 
  # Gets the x value from the instance.
  def getX (self):
    return self.x
 
  # Gets the y value from the instance.
  def getY (self):
    return self.y
 
  # Sets the x value in the instance.
  def setX (self, x):
    self.x = x
 
  # Sets the y value in the instance.    
  def setY (self, y):
    self.y = y
 
  # Prints the coordinate pair.
  def printCoordinate(self):
    print (self.x, self.y)

Assuming the file name is Coordinate.py, you can put it into the Python Idle environment with the following command:

from Coordinate import Coordinate

You initialize the class, like this:

g = Coordinate(49,49)

Then, you can access the variables of the class or it’s methods as shown below:

# Print the retrieved value of x from the g instance of the Coordinate class.
print g.getX()
 
# Print the formatted and retrieved value of x from the g instance of the Coordinate class.
print "[" + str(g.getX()) + "]"
 
# Set the value of x inside the g instance of the Coordinate class.
print g.setX(39)
 
# Print the Coordinates as a set.
g.printCoordinate()

You would see the following results:

49
[49]
(39,49)

As always, I hope that helps those looking for a solution.

Can’t Display 256 Colors

without comments

If you’re reading this post, you most likely are trying to run the Oracle Database 11g or 12c runInstaller program, and it’s failing a critical dependency check and displaying an error like the one below. If so, choose n because if you choose y it won’t launch the Oracle Installer.

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
 
Checking Temp space: must be greater than 500 MB.   Actual 30824 MB    Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB.   Actual 3967 MB    Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
    >>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.    Failed <<<<
 
Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
 
continuing with the installation,
 
Continue? (y/n) [n] n

The first thing to check is whether you’ve the $TERM environment variable. It’ll be set in your env list but may not be set in your .bashrc file. You can see whether it’s set by running the following command:

echo $TERM

It should return a value, like this:

xterm-256color

If you didn’t get that value, use the env command to lookup the $TERM. The correct value can be found by running the env command like this:

env | grep -i term

Add $TERM environment variable to your .bashrc file and source it after the change or reboot the user’s session:

export TERM=xterm-256color

If it still doesn’t work, some posts ask you to run xclock but you don’t generally install the xhost clients. Those articles assumes you’ve installed the xorg-x11-apps package library. That’s more or less a choice you made when installing the Linux OS. You can check for the presence of the library with the following command as the root user:

rpm -qa xorg-x11-apps

If the command fails to return a result from the search of Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) libraries, you haven’t installed it. You can install it as the root superuser with this syntax:

yum install -y xorg-x11-apps

It should display the following result when successful:

Oracle 12c Pre-requisites

without comments

Installing any Oracle database is tedious, but the installing the prerequisites can be especially tedious. This post tries to simplify the process by creating a single prereq.sh file for all the prerequisite libraries, except for the oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall, which you should run after the prerequisite file.

The prerequisite file should contain the following:

yum install -y binutils \
               compat-libstdc++-33 \
               compat-libstdc++-33.i686 \
               gcc \
               gcc-c++ \
               glibc \
               glibc.i686 \
               glibc-devel \
               glibc-devel.i686 \
               ksh \
               libgcc \
               libgcc.i686 \
               libstdc++ \
               libstdc++.i686 \
               libstdc++-devel \
               libstdc++-devel.i686 \
               libaio \
               libaio.i686 \
               libaio-devel \
               libaio-devel.i686 \
               libXext \
               libXext.i686 \
               libXtst \
               libXtst.i686 \
               libX11 \
               libX11.i686 \
               libXau \
               libXau.i686 \
               libxcb \
               libxcb.i686 \
               libXi \
               libXi.i686 \
               make \
               sysstat \
               unixODBC \
               unixODBC-devel \
               zlib-devel \
               zlib-devel.i686

You can run the prereq.sh script as the root user like you would source an environment file:

. ./prereq.sh

Dependent upon what you installed when creating the Oracle Linux 7.1 operating system, you should see something like this in the output console:

sh-4.2# . ./prereq.sh

After you have installed the prerequisites, you install the oracle-dbms-server-12cR1-preinstall library as the root user. You run the command as the root user like this:

yum install -y oracle-dbms-server-12cR1-preinstall

You should see the following when it’s successful:

After running the oracle-dbms-server-12cR1-preinstall library, you can navigate through the Applications, Sundry, and Users and Groups to see the following dialog:

OracleUserCreated

It’s hard to tell from the GUI the oracle user’s group. You can find oracle primary user’s group by checking the /etc/passwd file. You will find that oinstall is the primary user’s group.

As always, I hope this helps those trying to install an Oracle Database 12c instance. Please post a comment if you have a better way to load the pre-requisite packages.

Linux User-Group Console

without comments

This post shows you how to add the menu option and GUI to set users and groups. It’s quite a bit easier than mastering all the command-line syntax. It makes setting up the required user and group accounts for an Oracle Enterprise or MySQL database solution much easier.

You add the utility by calling the yum (Yellowdog Updater, Modified) utility like this:

yum installed -y system-config_users

You should see the following:

After successfully installing the radian, rarian-compat, system-config-users, and system-config-users-docs packages, you will find that there’s now a Users and Groups option when you navigate by clicking on Applications and then clicking on Sundry from the menu.

Menu Instructions

SQLDeveloper1

  1. You navigate to the Applications menu, and choose Sundry from the menu list and Users and Groups from the menu item to continue.

SQLDeveloper1

  1. You will be prompted for the sudoer’s password in this dialog.

SQLDeveloper1

  1. At this point, you can use the GUI interface to set users and groups.

As always, I hope this helps those trying to set users and passwords without mastering the command-line syntax.
