Configure the PostgreSQL Data Source

Add a <Resource> element, to your installation's labkey.xml configuration file. Use the configuration template below as a starting point. Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, and DBNAME with the correct values for your environment. If you are running LabKey Server against a remote installation of PostgreSQL, change the url attribute to point to the remote server.

If you will be connecting to more than one data source, be sure that all have unique name parameters, i.e. pgDataSource1, pgDataSource2, or similar. This value will be used whenever you connect an external schema to this datasource so it must be unambiguous.

   <Resource name="jdbc/pgDataSource" auth="Container"
       type="javax.sql.DataSource"
       username="USERNAME"
       password="PASSWORD"
       driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
       url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/DBNAME"
       maxTotal="20"
       maxIdle="10" 
       accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed="true"
   />
