Re: Re: cannot create new user in postgres

Dear Mike,

I am trying to create the user but it was giving folllowing errors

[postgres(at)ns data]$ su siddharta
su: user siddharta does not exist

This is how I created the user........

[postgres(at)ns data]$ createuser siddharta
Enter user's postgres ID -> 567
Is user "siddharta" allowed to create databases (y/n) y
Is user "siddharta" a superuser? (y/n) y
createuser: siddharta was successfully added

I am looking 4 seriuos help.

Thanks in advance
