LkbLexDbMultiUser
-
First, set up psql. This is discussed in LexDbPsqlInitialize.
-
The next steps are to initialize a database, populate it with lexicon entries and finally to tell the LKB to use this when you load a grammar. The database initialization described here is for multi user mode. The subsequent steps are similar for single user and multi user mode and are described in LexDbInitialize.
You must create a new database to hold the LexDB. The LexDB-specific database structures must then be initialized. For the purpose of these instructions assume the LexDB will be called erg with LexDB config files ~/erg/lexdb.*; if you do not yet have a .fld and a .dfn file you must create these before proceeding (see LexDbFieldMappings); you also need a .rev file with which to populate the database.
- At shell prompt (M$ Windows users will need Cygwin):
$ cd lkb/lexdb
$ bash install-lexdb.sh erg ~/erg lexdb
(Note: The encoding for the lexical database will be set to UNICODE.)
- You can view the field mappings in the field dfn just to make sure:
user@localhost:~/lkb/lexdb$ psql erg

As above, but use an empty .rev file. This can be created with a shell command such as the following:
echo '' > lexdb.rev
