Hi Murray, Ok, that makes sense. PostgreSQL normally runs under the local system account "postgres" with limited privileges, and enforces limited permissions. Also I didn't realize glom *runs* it's own PostgreSQL server, as I thought it was purely a client program (e.g., like QGIS).
On "Create new", glom should check to see if the account can be used to locally run PostgreSQL (e.g., check permissions). And if not, disable local DB creation, and only allow external DB creation. On my work PC, I have a two versions of PostgreSQL running as services (as "postgres"), so ideally I would be able to use one of these, as I do with many other client software. -Mike On 26 February 2013 22:49, Murray Cumming <murr...@murrayc.com> wrote: > It's not Glom that creates this requirement - it's PostgreSQL.
