Hello all, Is there an existing mechanism is postgresql that can automatically increment/decrement on a daily basis w/out user interaction? The use case I'm considering is where a student is in some type of contract with an instructor of some sort, and that contract puts a time limit on the s

Richard, Are you sure that you weren't typing an additional argument, such as: sudo -u postgres psql db_name Reason I ask is because, by default running the command psql assumes some things if you don't call them out explicitly such as: psql assumes: -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 (or whichever w

I'm sorry but this is wrong, localhost IS 127.0.0.1 and IS a fundamental component of TCP/IP. UNIX Domain sockets - known to most as file descriptors - are entirely different! localhost != UNIX Domain sockets! I wish people would read up on this to stop perpetuating the misunderstanding of '
