Hello, Currently, we are developing some tool for PostgreSQL. To determine the functional specification, I would like to ask PostgreSQL users about the necessity of support for the -U option of initdb. In what situations do you use -U option of initdb? Is it essential for what reason? I'm not sure whether there are any situations where the DBAs need to use different username/password pairs for the OS user who starts/stops the database server, and the database superuser.
