Re: Permissions to connect to postgres database

Hi,
I have a database in postgres and i've given trusted permissions to all
making required changes
in pg_hba.conf.

Now, I'm trying to connect to the database using ECPG. Unfortunately after
EXEC SQL CONNECT dbxyz
gives me error -402 that means i don't have permissions to the database.

I'm running this ECPG code under root permissions.
Don't know what needs to be done to make it work.

Is there some kind of a script file that needs to be run
so that everything is well in place.

Regards,
~Jas

If you turn on connection logging on the postgresql server you'll see
what's happening. Don't forget system users and postgresql users aren't
connected.

How do i turn on the connection logging and then how do you actually check
it?

Log settings are in your postgresql.conf file and are detailed in this
part of the manual:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/runtime-config-logging.html

Where your logfiles are stored will depend on your settings, but
typically on a unix-style system they will be in /var/log/.

I recommend you stop what you're doing for an hour or two and quickly
read through section III (Server Administration) of the manuals. That
will save you a lot of time later.

You can turn on connection logging by setting the following in
postgresql.conf file:

log_connections = on
log_disconnections = on

and this will log all the connections and disconnections to your database
server in the db server log files.
