> Uh, you removed createuser permission from the postgres super-user. That was a really bad move :-( If you have no superusers left, I think your only option is to shut down the postmaster, start a standalone backend, and ALTER USER postgres back to superuser status in the standalone backend. Then you can restart the postmaster. IIRC this will work in 7.3 and probably 7.2. If you're running something older, you are well and truly hosed, because you can't reclaim superuser status even with a standalone backend. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
