Password for user postgres:

followed below steps:

  1. wget https://github.com/HexaCluster/pgdsat/archive/refs/tags/v1.1.tar.gz

    7)[postgres@RHEL8 ~]$ cat .bash_profile
    [ -f /etc/profile ] && source /etc/profile
    #PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/16/data
    #export PGDATA
    PATH=/usr/pgsql-16/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin

If you want to customize your settings,

Use the file below. This is not overridden

by the RPMS.

#[ -f /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile ] && source /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile
. /etc/bashrc
[ -f /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile ] && source /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile"
[postgres@RHEL8 ~]$

pgsdat use the psql command multiple time to collect information. You should either set the PGPASSWORD environment variable or better, create a .pgpass file with the connection information.
