Hi,
I am just beginning postgreSQL.
I think I have installed PostgreSQL correctly.
There is some trouble getting started.
I also downloaded something called Pagila (Kool name).
Installation and getting started were started last week.
The getting started was never completed.
I come back today and PostgreSQL is not in Start | Programs anymore.
It was there last week.
Should I un- and reinstall the prog?
Some Getting Started with PostgreSQL for Windows PDF file by Charlton H.
Lopez was downloaded and followed.
From the directions I started the command-line interface –
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin>psql –U postgres –h localhost
That instruction worked fine.
Then I tried the next inst.
Password for user postgres:
The prog. would not accept my password.
That auto gen password is very cryptic and the compliance character was not
being recognized in the command-line interface.
I know you cannot see the alphanumbers as you type the password, however, I
typed on a different line and the § character, ASCII character- 0167, would
display as Character- 167- º . I don't know how many times I tried the
password. I finally gave up.
Could someone try to help me out please?
--James
