Re: problem with recreating database with export

Not needed if you are logged in as user postgres in your OS when you enter psql.
At least, with the hba_conf file the way it is stock.

But a good point, though. I wonder if I would then have to know the DATABASE
password for postgres if I wasn't user postgres in the OS?
