Not redundent. Unless something has changed, psql's default connection
method is via unix socket 5432 and this socket does not exist on
windows. The -h is required to have psql connect to the network socket
which is available on windows.
Oh? Well, on my XP laptop, the following -
psql -U postgres
- connects without problems to the "postgres" database. Of course, there
*is* the following line in pg_hba.conf -
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
- which was there from installation time.
