+
+1) Download and install the PostgreSQL database,
+ which can be found here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/
+
+2) Dependency for postgresql-driver included in Petclinic pom.xml file.
+ Alternatively, download PostgreSQL JDBC driver from here: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
+ and copy the PostgreSQL JDBC driver JAR file (e.g., postgresql-9.4.1211.jre7.jar) into
+ the db/postgesql directory.
+
+3) Create the PetClinic database
+
+ CREATE DATABASE petclinic
+ WITH OWNER = postgres
+ ENCODING = 'UTF8'
+ TABLESPACE = pg_default
+ CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;
+
+ and execute the "db/postgresql/initDB.sql" script, then execute "db/postgresql/populateDB.sql"
+
