I try to use dblink_connect while logged into the database as the superuser and it returns OK, but if I disconnect and use the same command as follows, it give and error, password is required. Even if I try to use the superuser login in the connect string below while connected as a non-superuser, I get the error... select dblink_connect('dbname=egroupware user=myuser password=mypass'); Does this mean I have to be connected to the db as the superuser? I assume not since reading the docs and having the ability to use user and password in my connection string. I can try the same command as above with only the dbname while logged in as the superuser and works. All works fine with superuser, but not any non-superuser. I am trying to develop a trigger pl/pgsql on this 8.3 server, but the connections to the db will be from a non-superuser from a web site connection. What am I doing wrong? My non-superuser owns both db's. The error hints that the target server's authentication method must be changed. I have tried to setup localhost to trust in pg_hba.conf, still no help. -- Robert -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
