Eli,
Dave,
Is there a news group for pgAdminIII?
I wonder if you can
help with the following. I have PostgreSQL and pgAdminIII installed on a
Windows XP machine. PostgreSQL seems to be running fine and I can access
the database through psql. When I try to 'Add Server' in pgAdminIII, I
get an error. The values for the server are in the attached JPEG
file. The error is: Error connecting to the
server: FATAL: user "postgres" does not exist. The user 'postgres' does exist on my
machine and has an admin role. What am I doing wrong?
Are
you sure it's not Postgres rather than
postgres?
As a side
note: I have not found this in the documentation. I have realized
that user names for pgAdminIII should not include a space. User names in
Windows can include a space, e.g., 'John Smith', but they are unacceptable to
pgAdminIII. It seems that pgAdminIII uses Unix name convention.
Can this information be added to the Windows section in
'Help'?
Current pgAdmin snapshots will handle such usernames with no
problems.
Regards, Dave
