But by starting postgresql under an administrative account, the user would, in effect, be giving up that control to PostgreSQL to simply do as it pleased with the machine. The real problem here is the common perception in Windows user's minds that running as an admin account is acceptable. It's not. It's dangerous. If your friend was following the basic tenant of not running as an admin all the time, there would be no problem. He, and many other windows users, have a bad habit to unlearn. Making PostgreSQL part of the problem is not the solution. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
