Re: user exists but mylog says it does not???

Is password case sensitive for psql? Giving 'abc' or 'ABC' (faked) as the
password both let me in from the psql command line though I set the
password for user 'maxware' to 'abc' on the PostgreSQL server. But the
application keeps saying user does not exist regardless what case I set
the password up in the DSN.
