I just got my Windows 10 computer in Nov 2019 and installed PostgreSQL
Jan this year.
I had a problem with Windows update and when I contacted Microsoft, they
installed a fresh operating system. After that, I was unable to run
postgres from pgAdmin 4 or from a perl program that accessed the database.
The message I got was:
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is
the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP
connections on port 5432? at pg_01.pl <http://pg_01.pl> line 8.

Does Postgres still exist on the system?
If it does have you started the service?
I was considering 2 options:
!) Reinstall postgres over the current without removing the current
postgres first.
2) uninstall the current postgres and then install postgres again.
The tables I created in my database are not many and if I lose them
doing a reinstall, I could recreate my database and the tables. I was
considering option (1) as I was wondering if that choice would keep the
database and tables I created this January.
(The database and contained tables are from 'Practical SQL' by Anthony
DeBarros.)
A second question is: When I try to edit anything in pgAdmin, sometimes
it won't let me edit the code. I then refresh the database in the left
pane and then it allows me to edit the SQL in the query pane.
Thank you for any help you may provide.
Chris
