tty is the filename of a device connected to an input resource.

Dunno, don't have USB stuff

Third is what  if i have a second cdrom or i have cdwriter in my pc how
will i mount it cause i only know to mount a single cdrom what if i have
two cdrom
ex.
mount /mnt/cdrom - this is correct but if i have two or more

First make a new mountpoint, e.g. mkdir /mnt/cdrom2
Then mount /dev/hd? /mnt/cdrom2 where the ? stands for the disk-device of the
second CDrom.

2001-07-13 Thread Daryl Johnson

Get a book from the library on the use of SQL - the creation of tables in
postgreSQL is the same as creating a table in any other variant of SQL (as
far as I know, only used a few). In postgreSQL

%createdb mydatabase

PostgreSQL as well as mySQL both come with documentation including how to do
these things (/usr/share/doc/postgresql-vNo or /usr/share/doc/MySQL-vNo).

Population of tables is the same - get the afore-mentioned book from the
library or check through the docs that came with the installation - create
tables in the database then populate them with data.

%CREATE TABLE names  (
firstName   varchar(10),
lastNamevarchar(15),
etc
);


%INSERT INTO names
VALUES ('Mickey', 'Mouse',   etc);

Lastly, I suspect that the fourth query is the key one. There ARE add-on
packages which add a gui to different variants of SQL but unless you have
installed one then you are going to be using command line instructions to
create, populate and manipulate your tables.

There is HTML documentation in some doc directory after you install Postgres. 
 That is a good place to start.

 1. how to create tables?

create table table name ( ..

It is on the documentation.

 2.how to populate tables?

insert into table name ...

see the documentation.

 3.where to get resources aside from postgreSQL.com,.org,.net

www.postgresql.org,   www.greatbridge.org ...   Subscribe to mailing 
lists and visit the newsgroups.  Do google searches.

There are books e.g. www.amazon.com.  On www.postgresql.org is a complete 
HTML version of a book out there plus several manuals.

 4.how to see the GUI side of it i really cannot find the GUI of Postgre?

There is a GUI, but that is a separate install.  I have never installed it.  
I think that it is browser based PHP application.

This is not much, but it might help you get started.

BTW, Postgres is a very powerfull RDBMS.  You need to learn it well before 
you can exploit its many features, but it is well worth it.

 Actually, that creates a database, not a table.  If I remember correctly
 from my database systems class, it goes (using -- to indicate part of)
   row--table--database
