I don't know Solaris, but with the installation of Postgres on Linux there usually comes a user "postgres". That user is by default a superuser on the primary database called "postgres" and can connect to it without a password. So you could use that default superuser - or better create a new user for backups: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createuser.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/app-createuser.html > Normall, we goes to sqlplus / as > sysdba on oracle and mysql -u root -p on mysql, but where should I > create it on postgres? > > Also, when I start the postgres, I saw 5 processes running... this is > odd isn't it?
