CQoS C++ Database Library Installation

Requirements:

• The database library is currently using PostgreSQL database server.

• It uses PerfDMF from TAU group to configure database and load performance data.

• Download PostgreSQL from ​http://www.postgresql.org/, install and run a client at your local machine.
• Prebuilt versions are also available on most platforms
• Download PerfDMF, a part of TAU release, from ​http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/tau/home.php

Build code:

• Run 'perfdmf_configure' to configure database with PerfDMF. Some notes about the configuration:
  • database name is 'cqos',
  • store the database user password in your configuration file
  • PerfDMF schema file is at 'cqos-database/DBSchemas/metaschema.txt'

• Then you can run 'psql perfdb your_user_name' to check if the DB is correctly configured.

• To build and install in the cqos-database/installed directory, run

    ./configure 
    make install
  

• You can also specify the location of the PostgreSQL library and an alternate installation location, you can use

the --with-postgresql and --prefix configure options, respectively.

• A small example that shows how to use various database management and query functions is located at directory at database/tests/main.cc
