OK, what I didn't want to do we to over-complexify something that is for only a few users. In a way that user has to be special for this case because of the requirement that at least one person be able to connect when you flip that flag.
Also, I don't want to add a column to pg_shadow. Seems like overkill. Please suggest another name for the file. Basically, I am not going to stop working on something when one person objects or this will never get done, and I think we have had enough feedback on this that people do want this done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Eisentraut wrote: > Bruce Momjian writes: > > > I had to add to initdb to create a file /data/PG_INSTALLER and have the > > postmaster read that on startup to determine the installing user. > > I object to treating one user specially.
