1. creating groups (and list archives broken?)

   Nic Ferrier <nferrier@tapsellferrier.co.uk> — 2001-01-21T21:20:36Z

   I've been trying to create a group using postgres 6.5.3-23 (that's the
   version reported by debian, I'm not sure how to ask postgres what
   version it's running).
   
   Here's the syntax that's in the administration manual:
   
     CREATE GROUP grpname
   
   I guess that should really be:
   
      CREATE GROUP grpname;
   
   Anyway, when I try and run that in psql (as user postgres) I get:
   
     ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "group"
   
   
   
   I have tried looking in the list archives for the answer but I don't
   seem to be able to view them.
   
   The link I'm following is:
   
     http://postgresql.lolix.org/mhonarc/pgsql-general
   
   from this page:
   
      http://postgresql.lolix.org/users-lounge/index.html
   
   
   The error I get is:
   
     Forbidden
   
     You don't have permission to access 
     /mhonarc/pgsql-general/ on this server.
   
   
   Can someone help me with either problem?

   You must be reading the wrong manual.  There is no such command in 6.5.*
   There is one in 7.0, however.

   When in doubt, use www.geocrawler.com.
