Default Two general, simple questions - 04-12-2006 , 08:46 PM






I know nothing about databases, SQL, or PostGreSQL :-)

I installed PostGreSQL and phpPgAdmin on a web server. It looks like
PostGreSQL insists that a username / password be supplied, unlike MySQL
that just runs as "root". I'm trying to find out how to add a user, but
apparently, this is such a stupendously simple operation that everybody
should know how to do, since it isn't mentioned anywhere :-) As an
adjunct (and my second question), I'm trying to find out how to enable
logging.

You could log in as root, then su postgres, then create your new user.
