USER_CLUSTERS(5)                 Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure                USER_CLUSTERS(5)

NAME
       user_clusters - File linking users to PostgreSQL clusters

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters  maps  users against the database clusters to
       which they will connect by default. However,  every  user  can  override  these  settings  in
       ~/.postgresqlrc.

       When  scanning this file, the first matching line will be used.  It is a good idea to provide
       a default explicitly, with a final line where both user and group are set to *.

       If there is no default, the implicit default is to connect to the cluster listening  on  port
       5432 and to the database matching the user's login name.

FORMAT
       Comments  are  introduced  by the character #.  Comments may follow data on a line; the first
       comment character terminates the data. Leading whitespace and blank lines are ignored.

       Each uncommented, non-blank line must describe a user, group or the default (where both  user
       and group are set to *).

       Fields must be given in the following order, separated by white space:

       USER   The  login  id  of  the  Unix user to whom this line applies. The wildcard character *
              means any user.

       GROUP  The group name of the Unix group to which this line applies. The wildcard character  *
              means any group.

       VERSION
              The major PostgreSQL version of the cluster to connect to.

       CLUSTER
              The  name of a cluster to connect to. A remote cluster is specified with host:port. If
              port is empty, it defaults to 5432.

       DATABASE
              Within the cluster, the database to which the user will connect by default if he  does
              not  specify  a database on the command line.  If this is *, the default database will
              be the one named by the user's login id.

NOTES
       Since the first matching line is used, the default line must come last.
