Hi! I have some doubts on Postgres....
Once we start a Postmaster process, will it keep running forever? How can we restart/stop??(the commands???)
Also, should we start the Postmaster only as the "postgres" superuser??? Is it possible to have users for postgres database also....like in linux....we have users? What is the importance of users and superuser?
After I start Postmaster process, I am getting the following error:
SetUserId: user 'postgres' is not in 'pg_shadow'.
What does it mean? How do I avoid it? Because of this,I am not able to create a database......after starting postmaster process.
Thanks,
Meena.
