Re: [GENERAL] default superuser
I think I created a cluster (initdb) and then a database (createdb mypgdb). I believe I am the default superuser (my linux uid). At least I appear to own everything using psql -l. And I needn't identify myself when making a db connection through that user. I then created a user that I wanted to grant all to and that seemed to work... create user foo password 'foopass'; grant all on database mypgdb to foo; And I can connect using the foo user (psql -U foo mypgdb). But it doesn't seem to require the password. Would you know why? I would like to use the password protection. -dave -Original Message- From: Joshua D.
