Defining PostgreSQL Databases

The following properties are applicable to a PostgreSQL Database object.

Tab	Section	Property	Description	Additional Information
		Name	Specifies the name of the database
		Generate	Specifies whether a SQL statement for the database is generated during forward engineering
General	Database Options	Owner	Specifies the owner of the database
		Template	Specifies the name of the template from which a new database is created, or enter DEFAULT to use the default template
		Encoding	Specifies the character set encoding to use in the new database. Specify a string constant (for example, 'SQL_ASCII'), an integer encoding number, or DEFAULT to use the default encoding (namely, the encoding of the template database.
		Strategy	Specifies the strategy used in creating the new database	WAL_LOG: Indicates that the database copies block by block, and each block writes separately to the write-ahead log. FILE_COPY: Indicates that the strategy writes a small record to the write-ahead log for each target database's tablespace.
		Locale	Specifies the default collation order and character classification in the new database
		LC_Collate	Sets LC_COLLATE in the database server's operating system environment. The default is the setting of locale if specified, otherwise the same setting as the template database.
		LC_CType	Sets LC_CTYPE in the database server's operating system environment. The default is the locale setting, if specified, otherwise the same setting as the template database.
		ICU Locale	Specifies the ICU locale for the database default collation order and character classification, overriding the locale setting. The locale provider must be ICU.
		ICU Rules	Specifies the additional collation rules to customize this database's default collation behavior. This feature supports only ICU.
		Provider	Specifies the provider to use a default collation in this database.	Icu: Specifies advanced, consistent, and locale-aware collation rules based on Unicode, suitable for diverse and multi-language sorting Libc: Specifies collation rules based on the operating system's C library, with behavior that can vary and may be less flexible compared to ICU
		Version	Specifies the collation version string to store with the database
		Tablespace	Specifies the name of the tablespace associated with the new database. This tablespace will be the default tablespace used for objects created in this database.
		Allow_Connections	Specifies whether to restrict access to the database
		Connection Limit	Specifies the number of concurrent connections to the database. The default value is -1, which is unlimited
		Is Template	Specifies the database cloning privileges for a user	True: Indicates that the users with CREATEDB privileges can clone the database. False: Indicates that only superusers or the owner of the database can clone it.
		OID	Specifies the object identifier used for the new database.	If not specified, PostgreSQL will automatically choose a suitable OID.
