Make sure you've got a postgresql-8.4-client or something like that. sudo su - postgres psql and you're in. If you want to be able to access it as you, then after psql do: create user yournamehere; create database yournamehere with owner yournamehere; \q then exit the postgres shell. Now psql for you as joe user should work. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
