I thank you for following up on an old thread.
I had done just that allowing start up as user from Terminal.
As I had explained I am developing with ...
DB2.. PostgreSQL.. Sybase.. & MySQL..
For this reason I cannot have any RDBMS start at boot.
I must be able to choose the system of the day.
Once I determine the right RDBMS for the project then
I will have one start at boot.
My current impass is deciding among other items
ease of backup and PIT recovery and use of WAL logs.
I want to be able to recovery current work with some grace.
I will post this on a seperate thread.
Thanks
Bob T
