Re: Windows Installation User account - Correct database for us

When the database is installed a postgreSQL user account is created which in most cases will be the second user account on the PC.  The result of this is the user now has to select the user account when ever the computer is restarted.

I thought I saw that the latest versions of the eDB PostgreSQL installer for Windows are using the Network Service built-in account rather than creating a special user ?

anyways even if they are creating a service account, it should be flagged such that its not valid for regular login, hence doesn't show up on the desktop login, much the same as quite a few built in accounts, like the IUSR_machinename account that Microsoft's IIS webserver uses by default.
