It's my first time using postgresql, and I might as well tell you my first impressions. I am reading /usr/share/doc/postgresql/html/tutorial-createdb.html and try $ createdb mydb 2>&1|cat -v createdb: could not connect to database template1: could not connect to server: [EMAIL PROTECTED]&@^S So disturbing to see the non ASCII stuff emitted. [Version: 7.4.8. It turns out that the server was not even installed. Anyway, bad message trailer.]
OK, so after poking around and getting to /usr/share/doc/postgresql/html/installation.html#INSTALL-SHORT It says su - postgres ... The long version is the rest of this chapter. But in fact su... are not in the rest of the chapter. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
