An example of a session with that interface is at

may find it useful at some point.
Your problem is caused by a change made to PostgreSQL's naming
convention made after the 7.3 fork you're using. In earlier versions,
"postgres" meant start the server in single user mode:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/app-postgres.html
While "postmaster" started it as a proper server:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/app-postmaster.html
In modern versions, they are the same thing. The Eclipse example uses
"postgres", which starts the regular server now, but in 7.3 only started
single user mode. Change where you run the program to use "postmaster"
instead and it should work more like what you're expecting.
Doing something useful with the TelegraphCQ code is probably going to
take you a while.
