Thanks Tom!
There seems to be something wrong with the cygipc package! I keep getting
this shmget() failure. I am pretty sure that there is enough memory on my
system. The best part is sometimes after reinstalling everything, it
sometimes works.
This is the failure message I get.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -N 4 -B 16
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=589824, 03600) failed: Not enough
core
This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared
memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space.
To reduce the request size (currently 589824 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 16) and/or
its max_connections parameter (currently 4).
The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
shared memory configuration.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The versions I use:
cygipc-1.13-2
postgresql-7.3.1-1
cygwin-1.3.19-1
Can someone help?
I have been having a hard time installing PostgreSQL on Windows NT. I tried
a Native port, the official Windows version (on top of cygwin) and the one
that comes with cygwin. Something or the other is broken in each release. I
am yet to do a successful query till now.
I guess it works better on Unix, considering its popularity.

If this is PG 7.3.*, there are some recently-identified problems with
using all-numeric usernames. Use a name instead of a number.
