Setting up the databases required by Pentaho 

Pentaho requires 3 databases which are more or less mandatory. These are:

Please note that the sql files above REQUIRES you to edit them since the database are created and are owned by the tomcat user. So, if you dont have another user in PostgreSQL who you want to use then you will have to replace every occurrence of tomcat with your own user before importing the files.

One point I would like to add is how I have created this SQL files: first I converted them from HSQLDB to MySQL and then from MySQL to PostgreSQL. It was a bit painfull process, but now Pentaho works and that's good. Please be warned that the sampledata is not 100% well converted so you may encounter some problem with it. This is a task that still needs to be done to finalize the sampledata.

loading the data into postgresql:

Create the above empty databases. Assuming your user is tomcat you would do that as following:

postgres@anfatech:~$ createdb shark -O tomcat
postgres@anfatech:~$ createdb quartz -O tomcat
postgres@anfatech:~$ createdb hibernate -O tomcat
postgres@anfatech:~$ createdb sampledata -O tomcat

 and import the scripts above into the appropriate database as following

tomcat@anfatech:~$ psql -U tomcat -d hibernate < hibernate.sql
tomcat@anfatech:~$ psql -U tomcat -d quarz < quarz.sql
tomcat@anfatech:~$ psql -U tomcat -d shark < shark.sql
tomcat@anfatech:~$ psql -U tomcat -d hibernate < sampledata.sql

Now your PostgreSQL should be ready. The next step is to configure the datasources required to access the data.

You can these are my samples for jboss I will add tomcat context.xml in the near future (???)

Make sure your driver is in the right location and startup your application server where Pentaho is deployed into
