Installation
Download the hpi file and install it within Jenkins interface.
Configuration
In the global Jenkins configuration, set up host and port of your PostgreSQL server and enter credentials of the PostgreSQL user that shall be used to create databases and grant permissions. Note that this user needs at least CREATEDB and CREATEROLE permissions.
Usage
Configure a database name in a job. The plugin ensures the database
exists when the job is run. It grants all permissions for the database
to a job specific user and publishes its credentials in the
environment variables $PGSQL_USER and $PGSQL_PASSWORD.
It also ensures that the database is dropped at the end of the job.
These environment variables will be injected in the build :
$PGSQL_DATABASE$PGSQL_USER$PGSQL_PASSWORD$PGSQL_HOST$PGSQL_PORT
