I want to require users to authenticate themselves by entering
a username and/or password when:
using the psql command
connecting to a database using the perl interface module.
I am doing this on my 7.1.2 system.
I am trying to do this on my 7.2.1 system.
I have used creatuser and pg_password.
my pg_hba.conf file has the following line:
local all password passwd
"select * from pg_shadow;" and "select * from pg_user;" shows
the users I have added but "psql template1" still does not
require a username and/or password.
I have checked the pertinent (I think) parts of the book
"PostgreSQL Introduction and Concepts" and the administrators guide
on the web site.
Can some kind soul give me a clue how to do it, or where to look
for instructions?

Did you restart PostgreSQL service to reload pg_hba.conf?
"service postgresql restart"
Just my two cents,

Sounds like you are getting an overflow.
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?datatype-money.html
Type Name Storage Description Range
money 4 bytes Fixed-precision -21474836.48 to +21474836.47
NB: Its use is deprecated
Try using numeric:
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?datatype.html#DATATYPE-NUMERIC-DECIMAL
I am not sure how you can convert the date to numeric, as on my database
(7.2.1) you cannot cast from money to numeric, or float (float would be
a bad idea for storage of monetary data).
select sum(m::numeric) from foo;
ERROR: Cannot cast type 'money' to 'numeric'
Maybe someone else could chime in at this point. : )

Hy!
I have one money type field and I need to plus it, but when I run the
query I get a negative answer!
But I don't have negative numbers into this field...???
What's up here??
The query is:
select sum(field) from table;
and the answer is:
field
--------
-$5,083,598.58
Regards!
