Re: [GENERAL] Nu-B Question

[larry a price]

you need to be a postgresql user, which is somewhat like being a unix user
but different,

you said earlier that you've got a debian system so,

if you have a user account that is already registered as a postgres
superuser login to that account and say:
createuser jorge

Otherwise, if you've just installed postgresql and didn't register you
home useraccount while doing so. Try the following

su -> (become root)
su postgres -> (become postgres, you won't need a password)
createuser 

and then follow the prompts :-)

There is one product that might be of interest, unlike many GUI report
generators it does not restrict the types of reports you make, 
it's called the Practical Extraction and Report Language 
oh yeah and it's free.
