Location of postgresql database on OS X?

Question

I\'m sure this has been answered but I cannot seem to find an answer.

I installed postgresql using Homebrew (brew install postgresql) which installed to /usr/local/Cella

Answer 1

Since there are three different libraries in Mac, developers are usually confused with the three scenarios. However, you can find out your PostgreSQL directory with one of the two methods on the Mac Computer.

1. Directory--Absolute Path

1). Scroll up your mouse to the left top of Mac Screen

2). Click the menu "Go"

3). Select the "Go to Folder..."

4). Input the path

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Postgres

Please change "username" to your name such as "jack" listed as follows.

/Users/jack/Library/Application Support/Postgres

5). Choose the button "Go" to the directory of Postgres.

You will eventually find out Postgres.

2. Find the directory step by step

1). Scroll up your mouse to the left top of Mac Screen.

2). Click the menu "Go".

3). Select the button "Library"

4). Double click the file holder "Application Support".

5). Find out "Postgres" according to the alphabetic order.
