|  | 34 | + | 
|  | 35 | +  <para> | 
|  | 36 | +   <application>clusterdb</application> is a utility for clustering tables inside a | 
|  | 37 | +   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database. | 
|  | 38 | +  </para> | 
|  | 39 | + | 
|  | 40 | +  <para> | 
|  | 41 | +   <application>clusterdb</application> is a shell script wrapper around the | 
|  | 42 | +   backend command | 
|  | 43 | +   <xref linkend="SQL-CLUSTER" endterm="SQL-CLUSTER-title"> via | 
|  | 44 | +   the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> interactive terminal | 
|  | 45 | +   <xref linkend="APP-PSQL">. There is no effective | 
|  | 46 | +   difference between clustering databases via this or other methods. | 
|  | 47 | +   <application>psql</application> must be found by the script and | 
|  | 48 | +   a database server must be running at the targeted host. Also, any default | 
|  | 49 | +   settings and environment variables available to <application>psql</application> | 
|  | 50 | +   and the <application>libpq</application> front-end library do apply. | 
|  | 51 | +  </para> | 
|  | 52 | + | 
|  | 53 | +  <para> | 
|  | 54 | +  <application>clusterdb</application> will need to connect several times to the | 
|  | 55 | +  <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server, asking for the password each | 
|  | 56 | +  time. It will probably be very convenient to have a PGPASSWORDFILE in that case. |
