After installing the Servoy Application Server, the following steps are required to remove the sample databases and connect the PostgreSQL engine to existing PostgreSQL databases:

• Start the database (see Starting the Database for more information on starting the database, look here )

• Connect to the database using the commandline psql utility and drop the unwanted databases:

  Code Block
  title Connecting
  {servoyInstall}/application_server/postgres_db/bin/psql postgres DBA

• Code Block
  title Dropping the sample databases
  drop database if exists user_data; drop database if exists example; drop database if exists log_data; drop database if exists udm; drop database if exists pdf_forms; drop database if exists bug_db;

• Restore a dump of the existing databases. For information on how to backup and restore databases, see the this PostgreSQL documentation here.
