I am not running on multiple machines. I think that initdb or something like it was not installed so it when I tried to invoke it Iwas met with an error that initdb is in the postgres-xc package and then told me how to install it. Not having known that postgres-xc is clustering software I just did what I was told. If that is my mistake then how do I uninstall it? Or is it easier to install the OS again? -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Klaver [mailto:adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2012 9:11 AM To: Kevin Burton Cc: 'Joshua D.

It is Postgres-XC, a clustering software. Not only that there is pooling software between you and the database.
