POSTGRES:

Install postgres database

in linux command, 'apt-get install postgresql' (might need to add sudo infront of the command to gain access)

To set up a server,

(By default in Ubuntu, Postgresql is configured to use 'ident sameuser' authentication for any connections from the same machine. In here, $USER should be your Ubuntu(linux) username eg. $USER = hj7park)

these are the commands that need to be ran

sudo -u postgres createuser --superuser $USER
sudo -u postgres psql

postgres=# \password $USER

To create a new database,

createdb $USER
psql

PGADMIN:

To Connect:

1. Assumming that all of the above steps are done,
2. Set up the local .pg_service.conf file to be something like this.
   [yourdatabasename]
   host=localhost
   port=5432
   dbname=yourdatabasebane
   user=hj7park
   
3. To generate the test database for the Oat, run the command below and configure.
   1. run psql service=yourdatabasename < load.sql in the oat_testdb/02_core folder.
   2. run psql service=yourdatabasename < init.sql in the oat_sql folder.

4. Run command play from the oat folder and wait until it loads.

5. Finally run ~run in the play framework and then localhost:9000 should be set to your project.
