PostgreSQL version : 11.2
OS : RHEL 7.5



I am new to PostgreSQL.
I would like to know which is the ideal way to start 'Database server' . In Oracle world, we call this starting the instance.



Should I be using Option A or Option B ?



Option A. As root user , run



# systemctl start postgresql-11


Option B. As postgres user, run



$ postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/11/data


NB: For Option B, PostgreSQL 11's official doc mentions a different directory (/usr/local/pgsql/data) as shown below . Maybe the doc not updated.



$ postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
