Re: connecting to the database from pgadmin client

[Thara Vadakkeveedu <tharagv@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need to create a database and a user and make this new user the owner of this new database.

Since I cannot access postgres db from pgadmin client on my desktop,

 

I tried to do the same from the command line on the linux db server:

 

su - postgres

-bash-4.1$ psql -d postgres

postgres=#  create user puser password 'xxxxxx'

postgres=#  create database pfdb owner puser

 

If I now try to list databases using \l

it lists postgres, template0 and template1 but not the new database I created...

 

How can I create a new database successfully ? It will be easier for me to try this from the pgadmin client.

Thanks

Hi

I am trying to connect to the database on a linux server from pgadmin on my windows desktop.

I see "Error connecting to the server: Fatal: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

I specified my linux server name for the host

port : 5432

Maintenance DB : postgres

username:postgres

passowrd: a passwod I set (using alter user postgres password command. I changed password as user postgres)

 

How can I connect to the postgres database ?

thanks,

thara.
