Ephemeral PostgreSQL

====================

Run tests on an isolated, temporary PostgreSQL database.

Temporary database created with `pg_tmp` have a limited shared memory footprint

and are automatically garbage-collected after the number of seconds specified by

the `-w` option (the default is 60).

`pg_tmp` reduces the wait time for a new database to less than one second by

initializing a database in the background that is used by subsequent

invocations.

Source Installation - BSD, Mac OS, and Linux

--------------------------------------------

    make install

Or to specify a specific installation location

    PREFIX=$HOME/local make install

Man Page Examples for pg_tmp(1)

-------------------------------

Create a temporary database and run a query:

    uri=$(pg_tmp)

    psql $uri -f my.sql

Start a temporary server with a custom extension:

    uri=$(pg_tmp -o "-c shared_preload_libraries=$PWD/auth_hook")

    psql $uri -c "SELECT 1"
