Thread: Prompt question
Hello all, I'm not currently subscribed to the list, but I do have a question. I'm currently running version 7.0.3 (compiled myself using debuild) on debian-m68k potato. When I start psql, my prompt doesn't look like every example I've seen. The examples are like this: "mydb=>" My prompt looks like this: "test=#" (no quotes, of course) I don't know if this is significant or not, obviously it is in Linux, but in Postgres I don't know. Thank you for any thought you may offer on this subject.

When I created myself as a new user I answered yes to both questions about whether I'm allowed to add other users and add databases. Does that make me an administrator/superuser?
