Thread: BUG #2854: can't log out database system

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      2854
Logged by:          Jessica
Email address:      hxq7681@rit.edu
PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system:   Solaris
Description:        can't log out database system
Details:

I log into database system, but I don't know how to log out and back to my
account prompt.

I use psql -test, nothing occurs and I can't be back to my account prompt
again.

What does it mean such a message as below:
FATAL:  syntax error in file
"/home/group/s772/p772-01f/pgsql/CLUST/data/postgresql.conf" line 101, near
token "MB"

Where can I find a really instruction to how to use postgresql for people
who are not experts?

Thanks.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/app-psql.html has information
on how to use the psql commandline client. but i guess your database is
not actually called "-test" ?

that looks like a typo in the configuration file - what is on line 101
in that file ?

the server-administration section in the manual has some information on
that:
