Обсуждение: Newbie: FAQ - change root password?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, Thanks. I can now running psql in tcp mode. However, I'm really new with psql. I've searched the FAQ, and found nothing on how to change root password of psql. I've also browsed the Admin Guide, but on the user management section, it seems to assume that we're already know how to connect to it as root user, but not how to setup the root user. Is there any similarity with mysql command: mysqladmin -u root password password to change the password?

There is no such thing as a root password for psql. In the default setup, you can connect to the database without any password, so unless you changed something, then you don't need to worry about that until later. (Where "later" means, when you devise an access control system for your publically accessible database server.) -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
Hi Fajar, The only user setup by default is "postgres", you need to add additional users using the command line tool createuser, or from within psql using the sql command create user HTH Brett "Fajar Priyanto" <fajarpri@arinet.org> wrote in message news:200311171729.03757@say.no.to.microsoft... > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Dear all, > Thanks.

That's for MySQL. PostgreSQL is completely different. The equivalent to the MySQL root user is the postgres super-user. su to postgres, then do psql template1 and use SQL to change the password. -- Paul Thomas +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ | Thomas Micro Systems Limited | Software Solutions for the Smaller Business | | Computer Consultants | http://www.thomas-micro-systems-ltd.co.uk | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
