Mine looks like this...
pg_hba.conf
# TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE AUTH_ARGUMENT
local all trust
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
_________________________
I did not MAKE a new database in pgaccess.
I was able to ONLY add to an existing one,
created by user postgres as follows:
postgres@X:~>psql mytestdb < /usr/share/doc/packages/postgresql-tk/formdemo.sql
Question:
What user were you when you created a NEW pgaccess database ?
You maybe on to something here.
