However, where I compile and run the project, in the Eclipse console I get:

POSTGRES backend interactive interface

$Revision: 1.115 $ $Date: 2006/02/06 01:19:46 $

I don’t know what to do with this backend interface. I would like to get a postmaster running and to connect to a data base with psql. However, when i try to start psql, it says that there is no postmaster running.


An example of a session with that interface is at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2000-01/msg01471.php ; you may find it useful at some point.

Your problem is caused by a change made to PostgreSQL's naming convention made after the 7.3 fork you're using. In earlier versions, "postgres" meant start the server in single user mode: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/app-postgres.html

While "postmaster" started it as a proper server: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/app-postmaster.html

In modern versions, they are the same thing. The Eclipse example uses "postgres", which starts the regular server now, but in 7.3 only started single user mode. Change where you run the program to use "postmaster" instead and it should work more like what you're expecting.

Doing something useful with the TelegraphCQ code is probably going to take you a while.
