Обсуждение: pgAdmin3 question
Hi All, Have a question on pgAdmin3: We have test database created in the initdb cluster, but on the Add Server page of pgAdmin3, the Maintenance DB dropdown box does not show this database. How can we make it to display this db in the dropdown box too? As the Maintenance DB dropdown box doesn't show this test db, we have to allow the owner of this test db (a new user created for this test db only) to access 'all' database in the pg_hba.conf file in order to allow it to login through pgAdmin. And once loged in, it of course has access to all databases including the postgres. How can we control this situation through pgAdmin? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, leo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

You can type the name of the preferred maintenance DB, or grant theuser access to 'postgres' as well as any other databases they need. 'postgres' is intended for this sort of use...

You can type the name of the > preferred maintenance DB, Yea! Worked by typing the new db name! Sorry didn't notice that we can type a name into the dropdown box.:( Thank you! A further question: we are using Debian system. So when we leave the 'Address' box blank (on the Add Server page of pgAdmin), according to the help file, it will go to use the default Postgresql socket on the local machine. We actually have a line as 'local all all ident sameuser' in the pg_hba.conf file. But when I tried, pgAdmin couldn't log the user in and shows "Ident Authentication Failed". Then I modified the line pg_hba.conf file to 'local all all ident', and aaded a map line in the pg_ident.conf file to map the new user to user 'postgres'. Still not work. What has I done wrong? Or how should I use the "ident" authen way through pgAdmin? Thank you for your help!! regards, leo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Did you instruct postmaster to reread the config files?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/client-authentication.html#AUTH-PG-HBA-CONF
The pg_hba.conf file is read on start-up and when the main server
process (postmaster) receives a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file
on an active system, you will need to signal the postmaster (using
pg_ctl reload or kill -HUP) to make it re-read the file.

The pg_ident.conf file is read on start-up and when the main server
process (postmaster) receives a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file
on an active system, you will need to signal the postmaster (using
pg_ctl reload or kill -HUP) to make it re-read the file.

Add the required lines to the dlgServer constructor in
src/dlg/dlgServer.cpp, then recompile pgAdmin, eg.
cbDatabase->Append(wxT("postgres"));
cbDatabase->Append(wxT("template1"));
// Add additional database options
cbDatabase->Append(wxT("research"));
cbDatabase->Append(wxT("sales"));
