I am not sure what you mean here .
Anyway thanks for the step by step instructions.
I gather that postgress is now running.
I fired up pgaccess , and was not able to find the sample data from
pg_datab ?
How do I piont it to it.
I tried to freate a database but kept getting all sorts of error when
creating the table.
I also noted that the help and htm section in the help menu did not do
anything. Clicking them sinply blinked the menu chioce.
I found no manuale for pgaccess , only an htm file showing what it can do ,
not how to do.
Any chance any of you can piont me in the right direction.
You mention other interfaces. What other interfaces are there besides
pgaccess ??
