Thread: postgres on WIN32

I am trying to run postgres on Windows NT.  I have successfully run "initdb"
under username foo.  I then try to run postgres.exe and get the errors:

FATAL 1: Database foo does not exist in pg_database

Why is it thinking the database in named after my user name?  Anyone know
what I am doing wrong?  Any help would be appreciated.

Because that is the default database name if you don't specify
a name on the command line.
