Hello,
starting with one of the recent nightly builds, PostgreSQL 7.5devel does
not start any more if the user has Administrator privileges.
I know that this is for security and same as on Unix....
BUT:
it is MUCH MORE common to have Administrator-Privileges when running a
Windows-System than when running Unix. BECAUSE a lot of programs DO NOT
WORK if you do not have these privileges.
Especially home-users usually have their default user working as
Administrator.
I recommend that we add an option to "do not check for Administrator, I
know I do something dangerous" for windows; at least when starting
Postgresql from the command line.
Harald
