Обсуждение: Pqintaller for Windows Leaving me with Questions
Using the PQinstaller I do want to install as a server to use on network. ( W/O Win Server)
During the Service Configuration Window section An Account Name, Domain Name and a Password are created.
The installer defaults to Account Name = postgres and Domain Name = MyDell.
Now MyDell is my computers Name. Not my domain name
Is there some reason the installer has chosen my Computer Name as the Domain Name and not my actual Network (Domain Name)?
Can I or should I use my actual network name?
Should the Postmaster be on a separate network?
Lastly, in windows do I use Root or do I create other users to access and create databases?
Sorry for so many questions. Windows Networking is very general on a peer to peer network, I do not have Win Server.
However I Still have a Linux server running on network but I must get up to speed with the Postgresql Win version w/o Win Server.

I'm not aware of any connection of PostgreSQL and Windows account domains. I suspect that entry may be needed for some feature related to Windows services. Connection to PostgreSQL just needs IP address and port number. > > Should the Postmaster be on a separate network?

Once the database cluster is created, the key issue is the *database* user and not the Windows user account. People get this often get this confused because the PostgreSQL utilities default to the Windows account user name if no user name is supplied in the connection specification. The database super user account is the starting point for creating other users and deciding on their privileges including the ability to create other databases.
