Newly installed postgresql 9.4.5 Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1, x64 Installed from postgresql-9.4.5-2-windows-x64.exe from http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#windows File version of psql.exe is p.4.5.15322 I have disabled passwords in pg_hba.conf, because password is not working for my superuser--this is why I wish to create a new user--to see if passwords are broken in general, or only for that first account--so have local method set to "trust" to get in. Invoking psql thus: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin> psql -p 5432 -U postgres Attempting to create a new user thus: postgres=# createuser -P -s testuser ; I get this error: ERROR: syntax error at or near "createuser" LINE 1: createuser -P -s testuser ; ^ I do not understand why there is a syntax error at the keyword createuser. Can anyone give me any pointers? - P ---- Sent using GuerrillaMail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com/abuse/?a=UUZnFAFNRLEbjRy1%2FF4PfQfTStiVwcZciatQew%3D%3D -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
