Installing and running the database

Step 1: Download the database file (pbdemo2025_for_postgresql.zip) from https://github.com/Appeon/PowerBuilder-Project-Example-Database.

Step 2: Restore and run the database in the management tool for PostgreSQL.

  1. Select Windows Start menu | PostgreSQL 12 | pgAdmin 4.

    pgAdmin 4 is a Web application. If pgAdmin 4 cannot run in Internet Explorer (the default Web browser in Windows Server 2019), you can install and try Google Chrome.

  2. Expand Servers | PostgreSQL, right click Databases, and select Create | Database.


  3. Input PBDemo in the Database field and click Save.


  4. Right click PBDemo that was just created, and select Restore.


  5. Select the pbpostgres2025.dmp file and click Restore.


    After the database file is restored, you will be able to view the following schemas:


  6. Open the pg_hba.conf file in a text editor and add the following line. The pg_hba.conf file is located in %PostgreSQL%\12\data. This enables the database server to allow remote connections.

    host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               md5
