1. *really* daft novice questions...

   chriswood@wvda.com — 2000-07-14T16:01:46Z

   (Note that I am a general sql/postgresql/pgadmin novice - I'm diving 
   in with both feet first.)
   
   I'm using PostgreSQL 7.0.2 jon RH Linux 6.2, and everything there 
   seems pretty much ok. I'm having problems with getting PgAdmin 
   7 on my Win98 machine to connect to the Linux machine via 
   ODBC.
   
   Is PgAdmin 7 compatible with PostgreSQL 7.0.2?
   
   I keep getting errors that indicate that either the password is wrong 
   or the database doesn't exist. I know the database I'm trying to 
   access exists. I've created a user with that password on the Linux 
   machine. In pg_hba.conf I've even set all connections from my 
   Win98 machine to "trust". Is there something I've missed in the 
   docs which explains this problem?
   
   Where are the PgAdmin docs, anyway?
   
   Should I be directing some of these questions to the Interface list?
   
   Thanks for your attention...

   Warning: blind leading blind.
   
   Does Postgres care at all about users on the Linux box?  Or does it maintain
   its own table of user accounts (which one could presumably somehow seed from
   Unix-land, but that's a different newbie question)?
   
   If it handles its own users then that's where you need to add account info.
