It finds tables that have previously been clustered, and clusters them again on the same index that was last used\&. Tables that have never been clustered are not affected\&. +.PP +clusterdb +is a wrapper around the SQL command +\fBCLUSTER\fR(7)\&. There is no effective difference between clustering databases via this utility and via other methods for accessing the server\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +clusterdb +accepts the following command\-line arguments: +.PP +\fB\-a\fR +.br +\fB\-\-all\fR +.RS 4 +Cluster all databases\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB[\-d]\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR +.br +\fB[\-\-dbname=]\fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR +.RS 4 +Specifies the name of the database to be clustered, when +\fB\-a\fR/\fB\-\-all\fR +is not used\&. If this is not specified, the database name is read from the environment variable +\fBPGDATABASE\fR\&. If that is not set, the user name specified for the connection is used\&. The +\fIdbname\fR +can be a +connection string\&. If so, connection string parameters will override any conflicting command line options\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-e\fR +.br +\fB\-\-echo\fR +.RS 4 +Echo the commands that +clusterdb +generates and sends to the server\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-q\fR +.br +\fB\-\-quiet\fR +.RS 4 +Do not display progress messages\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-t \fR\fB\fItable\fR\fR +.br +\fB\-\-table=\fR\fB\fItable\fR\fR +.RS 4 +Cluster +\fItable\fR +only\&.

If the server requires password authentication and a password is not available by other means such as a +\&.pgpass +file, the connection attempt will fail\&. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a password\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-W\fR +.br +\fB\-\-password\fR +.RS 4 +Force +clusterdb +to prompt for a password before connecting to a database\&. +.sp +This option is never essential, since +clusterdb +will automatically prompt for a password if the server demands password authentication\&. However, +clusterdb +will waste a connection attempt finding out that the server wants a password\&. In some cases it is worth typing +\fB\-W\fR +to avoid the extra connection attempt\&. +.RE +.PP +\fB\-\-maintenance\-db=\fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR +.RS 4 +Specifies the name of the database to connect to to discover which databases should be clustered, when +\fB\-a\fR/\fB\-\-all\fR +is used\&. If not specified, the +postgres +database will be used, or if that does not exist, +template1 +will be used\&. This can be a +connection string\&. If so, connection string parameters will override any conflicting command line options\&. Also, connection string parameters other than the database name itself will be re\-used when connecting to other databases\&. +.RE +.SH "ENVIRONMENT" +.PP +\fBPGDATABASE\fR +.br +\fBPGHOST\fR +.br +\fBPGPORT\fR +.br +\fBPGUSER\fR +.RS 4 +Default connection parameters +.RE +.PP +\fBPG_COLOR\fR +.RS 4 +Specifies whether to use color in diagnostic messages\&.
