Hello, I've created a user and a database both wrongly named "phpbb". After that I have renamed both to "punbb" using "ALTER DATABASE" and "ALTER USER". Now everything works fine, except I always have to specify the database when connecting (both using psql or the PQconnectdb() from my C-program): h754814:afarber {103} psql -U punbb psql: FATAL: database "phpbb" does not exist h754814:afarber {104} psql -U punbb punbb Welcome to psql 8.1.0, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. .... punbb-> \l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding -----------+-------------+----------- postgres | _postgresql | SQL_ASCII punbb | _postgresql | SQL_ASCII template0 | _postgresql | SQL_ASCII template1 | _postgresql | SQL_ASCII (4 rows) punbb-> \du List of roles Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | Member of -------------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------- _postgresql | yes | yes | yes | no limit | punbb | no | no | no | no limit | (2 rows) punbb-> select * from pg_user; usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | valuntil | useconfig -------------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+----------- _postgresql | 10 | t | t | t | ******** | | punbb | 16384 | f | f | f | ******** | | (2 rows) How do I please set the database "punbb" to be the default database for the user called "punbb"?
