With the PostgreSQL Content Management System (CMS), there is no longer a need to start a service that runs in the background; as there is with the Valentina CMS. Normally, the PostgreSQL server starts when the application (i.e. Install Manager, DAZ Studio) starts and stops when the application stops; unless another application is connected to it - in which case it will stop when the last application connected to it closes.

Explicit control to start the service from within DAZ Studio is provided via an action [in the Content Library pane option menu] and a button [in the Smart Content pane] without ever needing to leave the application. Explicit control to stop the service is also provided via an action [in the Content Library pane option menu].

To help get you up and running with the new PostgreSQL service, we’ve added a separate package in Install Manager that will automatically migrate any existing data from your Valentina CMS database; you simply install it after the PostgreSQL CMS is installed. The amount of time required to migrate the data will vary depending on the amount of data you have and your system specs.

*Note: The PostgreSQL CMS and the data conversion package are not available as a standalone installers. They must be downloaded and installed using Install Manager. While the PostgreSQL CMS is installed, Install Manager will not install any data to the Valentina CMS database.

Below is a list of the installation package types provided by this product. The name of each package contains a Package Qualifier, which is used as a key to indicate something about the contents of that package.

• Unfortunately, ZoneAlarm and PostgreSQL do not play well together; the free version can be configured to allow a connection, but it is very slow to start; repeated attempts to get the paid versions to connect have been unsuccessful
