alter superuser...

Hi, List!

I alter user postgres, that was a superuser in my db cluster.  And now it is not a superuser. There are no superusers in my cluster. Yes, I am stupid :)

But are there any abilities to restore superuser excluding initdb?

You can try running in standalone mode. Check the docs, but it amounts
to shutting down the postmaster and running postgres directly. No
multiline queries, no query editing but you are superuser and can fix
stuff up.

Hope this helps,
