I am running Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10) and new to Postgresql. I followed the direction at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL. I executed the following commands: sudo -u postgres createuser -D -A -P myuser sudo -u postgres createdb -O myuser mydb dagon@DagonUX32:~$ psql mydb and received the following error message: psql: FATAL: role "dagon" does not exist. Apparently Postgresql gets confused with my login name. Is this a Postgresql problem or a Gutsy problem? How do I establish a "role" that will let me setup different databases? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
