Hi David
I am a complete newbie to PG but have managed to hammer it a bit over the last week or so. The metrics are impressive. It seems to be way faster than MS - as much as five times maybe.
For this project the OS will be Windows servers.
What we are specifically concerned about is the data while in transit. Please forgive me if I am going to sound simple here but I will describe the situation by asking questions.
I have installed PG and was asked for a password. I provided one and then created the database and created a role for it with full permissions. It obviously also has a separate password. Now here are my simple questions:
[1] Can the new role revoke the super user permissions?
[2] If I copy the database and take it to another PG server and mount it does the superuser on that PG server automatically have full rights to this database?
More questions to come but that is where I need to start.
Thanks for chipping in and taking the time to help me with this decision.
Cheers
Andre
