Hi all

I installed postgresql successfully.
But when i starting the server it is showing the server status differently

DEBUG:  CheckPoint record at (0, 1522288)
DEBUG:  Redo record at (0, 1522288); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE
DEBUG:  NextTransactionId: 618; NextOid: 18720
DEBUG:  database system is in production state

after this
when i was starting the psql
it was giving error "user not found in the system catalog"

what could be the problem.... Installation i did it correctly.
after gmake and gmake install ..it showed ...Postregsql
Installed successfully.

regards
shiva.

    This is normal.

    You probably want to start psql with the '-U' option and specify that
you are connecting with the 'postgres' user.  Then you can use the "CREATE
USER" command to make one with your username.

Did it say something like this?

psql: FATAL 1:  Database "shiva" does not exist in the system catalog.

By default psql looks for a database named the same as your user ID.

If you want to use a database by a different name, then say
"psql different_name"

To get a list of what databases you have, use "psql -l"

To create a new database use the createdb command.
