Posted by Owen Byrne on 07/08/00 04:02 PM
Hi,
<br>I'm having a problem accessing my database.
<br>Basically psql mydb works
but psql localhost::mydb doesn't.
<br>It gives the error "FATAL 1: database localhost::mydb" doesn't
exist in the system catalog"
<br>TIA
<br>Owen Byrne

If you're literally typing "psql localhost::mydb" to the shell, that's  not the correct syntax.  "localhost::mydb" is the datasource you want  to specify in your AOLserver initialization file.

Never mind.

It inexplicably started to work.
