Regression tests for postmaster

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

This directory contains a test suite for postmaster's handling of

connections, connection limits, and startup/shutdown sequence.

Running the tests

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

NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.

Run

make check

or

make installcheck

You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".

In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested. With

"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current

sources and then tested.

Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres

cluster.

See src/test/perl/README for more info about running these tests.
