Hi
How do I start postgreSQL.
I read the docs but I couldent even log in to the postgres account (usink the KDE login app) and start the demon.
I don't know about the KDE interface. First, you must start the postgres demon. In YAST , under the "edit configuration file", there is a line to START POSTGRES, set it to yes. Then you must login to the postgres database "jolly", which is a default database. It is in the postgres postscript docs. For some reason, postgres won't start unless it has a default database to begin with. Once you have gotten "jolly", you can issuse a "createdb" of your database and forget about jolly. You then can logon to your db. Example: pgsql jolly that will get you going, then createdb mydb; Then you can start postgres with pgsql mydb then create your tables, etc. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
