# Connect to the PostgreSQL server | ||
|
||
With PostgreSQL server up and running, let's connect to it. | ||
|
||
By default, the `postgres` user and the `postgres` database are created in PostgreSQL upon its installation and initialization. This allows you to connect to the database as the `postgres` user. | ||
{.power-number} | ||
|
||
1. Switch to the `postgres` user. | ||
|
||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ sudo su postgres | ||
``` | ||
|
||
2. Open the PostgreSQL interactive terminal `psql`: | ||
|
||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ psql | ||
``` | ||
|
||
<i info>:material-information: Hint:</i> You can connect to `psql` as the `postgres` user in one go: | ||
|
||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ sudo su - postgres -c psql | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
## Basic `psql` commands | ||
|
||
While connected to PostgreSQL, let's practice some basic `psql` commands to interact with the database: | ||
1. List databases: | ||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ \l | ||
``` | ||
2. Display tables in the current database: | ||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ \dt | ||
``` | ||
3. Display columns in a table | ||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ \d <table_name> | ||
``` | ||
4. Switch databases | ||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ \c <database_name> | ||
``` | ||
5. Display users and roles | ||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ \du | ||
``` | ||
6. Exit the `psql` terminal: | ||
```{.bash data-prompt="$"} | ||
$ \q | ||
``` | ||
To learn more about using `psql`, see [`psql` :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html) documentation. | ||
Congratulations! You have connected to PostgreSQL and learned some essential `psql` commands. | ||

# Manipulate data in PostgreSQL | ||
|
||
On the previous step, you have [connected to PostgreSQL](connect.md) as the superuser `postgres`. Now, let's insert some sample data and operate with it in PostgreSQL. | ||
|
||
## Create a database | ||
|
||
Let's create the database `test`. Use the CREATE DATABASE command: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
CREATE DATABASE test; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Create a table | ||
|
||
Let's create a sample table `Customers` in the `test` database using the following command: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
CREATE TABLE customers ( | ||
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, -- 'id' is an auto-incrementing integer | ||
first_name VARCHAR(50), -- 'first_name' is a string with a maximum length of 50 characters | ||
last_name VARCHAR(50), -- 'last_name' is a string with a maximum length of 50 characters | ||
email VARCHAR(100) -- 'email' is a string with a maximum length of 100 characters | ||
); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
<i info>:material-information: Hint:</i>Having issues with table creation? Check our [Troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting.md) | ||
|
||
## Insert the data | ||
|
||
Populate the table with the sample data as follows: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, email) | ||
VALUES | ||
('John', 'Doe', '[email protected]'), -- Insert a new row | ||
('Jane', 'Doe', '[email protected]'); | ||
('Alice', 'Smith', '[email protected]'); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Query data | ||
|
||
Let's verify the data insertion by querying it: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
SELECT * FROM customers; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
??? example "Expected output" | ||
|
||
```{.sql .no-copy} | ||
id | first_name | last_name | email | ||
----+------------+-----------+------------------------- | ||
1 | John | Doe | [email protected] | ||
2 | Jane | Doe | [email protected] | ||
3 | Alice | Smith | [email protected] | ||
(3 rows) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Update data | ||
|
||
Let's update John Doe's record with a new email address. | ||
|
||
1. Use the UPDATE command for that: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
UPDATE customers | ||
SET email = '[email protected]' | ||
WHERE first_name = 'John' AND last_name = 'Doe'; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
2. Query the table to verify the updated data: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE first_name = 'John' AND last_name = 'Doe'; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
??? example "Expected output" | ||
|
||
```{.sql .no-copy} | ||
id | first_name | last_name | email | ||
----+------------+-----------+------------------------- | ||
2 | Jane | Doe | [email protected] | ||
3 | Alice | Smith | [email protected] | ||
1 | John | Doe | [email protected] | ||
(3 rows) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Delete data | ||
|
||
Use the DELETE command to delete rows. For example, delete the record of Alice Smith: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
DELETE FROM Customers WHERE first_name = 'Alice' AND last_name = 'Smith'; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If you wish to delete the whole table, use the `DROP TABLE` command instead as follows: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
DROP TABLE customers; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To delete the whole database, use the DROP DATABASE command: | ||
|
||
```sql | ||
DROP DATABASE test; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Congratulations! You have used basic create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations to manipulate data in Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL. To deepen your knowledge, see the [data manipulation :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/{{pgversion}}/dml.html) section in PostgreSQL documentation. | ||
