Hi. I'm having some serious trouble with Postgres on Debian Linux (3.0 aka Woody), and hope somebody can help.
The PostgreSQL DB Server I'm running is the default that comes with Debian Linux 3.0. From the Information the APT packaging tool can provide the version number is something between 7.0 and 7.2. The postgresql-client (whatever that is..'psql'?) is the version 7.1.1-4 and everything else seems to group around this version number. Anyway, I've installed postgres and it seem to be running smooth. I can log onto the db-server (do you say that that way? 'log onto the db-server'?) using psql (client?, cli frontend?) and it seems coherent the way it manages user rights, as it won't let me log on in all scenarios, only in those where /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf would let me. Along the line of setting up postgres I was able to create a db 'elefant-data'. \l on psql outputs this: >>> template1-# \l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding --------------+----------+---------- elefant-data | postgres | LATIN9 template0 | postgres | LATIN9 template1 | postgres | LATIN9 (3 rows) <<< I was postive that I'd created elefant-data as user 'phillip', but that's a different story. From what I understand, it's a PIA to change useres for db's once they're created. Is that right? Along witth the installation I installed the standard Debian Woody Linux 'jdbc' drivers and, after no effect, the odbc drivers. Whatever I do it seems absolutely impossible to connect to the db via jdbc or odbc, no matter how. I've done all configuration possible with ODBCconfig - no light so far. But then this: I figured it's a user problem, so I thought it might be a good idea to drop my test-db elefant-data, and try to create a new one, this time making shure it'd be with the user it was intendend for - phillip. It was then that I found out that I couldn't either create a new or drop an existing database, no matter which user was logged in via psql. Where could this problem lie? Is my enviroment totally borked up and would you recommend a reinstall or should I look somewhere for the problem. And where would that be? This has been going on for days, I by know though it would be the right thing to ask this question in this ML. Thanks for your help in advance.
