Re: odbc with debian woody/postgres

Thanks Christoph, I'm going to try this. But I'm having a little
trouble figuring out how to get postmaster to start up at boot time
with the -i option. This is a debian-specific problem -- I don't
really understand the script in /etc/init.d and I can't figure out
which line therein I need to modify in order to get it to start up
with TCP/IP listening. I don't see an obvious call to postmaster...
anyone familiar with this script know what I should do? thanks
