Hi. How so? I was not aware of such possibilities.
Can you please give pointers (docs, examples) of this?
$ psql -U eve
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: role "eve" does not exist
$ psql -U postgres -d theater
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: database "theater" does not exist
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: database "theater" does not exist
$ psql -U alice -d template1
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "alice"
Cheers,
Greg
