The port uses the new postgresql ports' layout and is split into a
server and a client part. The following knobs can be used by ports
depending on PostgreSQL:
# USE_PGSQL - Add PostgreSQL client dependency.
# If no version is given (by the maintainer via the port or
# by the user via defined variable), try to find the
# currently installed version. Fall back to default if
# necessary (PostgreSQL-7.4 = 74).
# DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER
# - PostgreSQL default version. Can be overridden within a port.
# Default: 74.
# WANT_PGSQL_VER
# - Maintainer can set an arbitrary version of PostgreSQL by
# using it.
# BROKEN_WITH_PGSQL
# - This variable can be defined if the ports doesn't support
# one or more versions of PostgreSQL.

Note that a periodic script is installed that will, by default, vacuum
all databases nightly. You may want to tweak the settings, see the
script at ${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic/daily/502.pgsql
To run PostgreSQL at boot time, set postgresql_enable=yes in /etc/rc.conf.

stuffing the 8.0.0 release in here for the time being. Port epoch bumped
because 8.0.rc* is greater than 8.0.0. A note from UPDATING to people who
want to use 8.0.0 via -devel in production:
The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since
postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No
dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to
postgresql80-server.

carries the 8.0 release. The postgresql80-server port is being held up by
the 4.11 release because 80-server requires scads of changes to Mk/*.mk
which won't be committed until after 4.11 is pushed out the door. Until
4.11, -devel will act as the 80-server until such time as 80-server is
enabled. Get all that? Good.

versions of MySQL, including MySQL-4.1 or MySQL-5.0.
