If I do this as any user: SELECT update_pg_pwd();

Isn't it a problem that we let ordinary users crash the server and cause a restart? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOG: server process (pid 23337) was terminated by signal 11 LOG: terminating any other active server processes LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing shared memory and semaphores FATAL: The database system is starting up LOG: database system was interrupted at 2002-03-21 03:42:08 CET LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/43C048 LOG: redo record is at 0/43C048; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction id: 99; next oid: 24747 LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress LOG: redo starts at 0/43C088 LOG: ReadRecord: record with zero length at 0/4421B4 LOG: redo done at 0/442190 LOG: database system is ready -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
