Has anyone got experience with Debian and Postgres 9.0? I have never<br>
used Postgres before, but I foolishly thought it would be simple. I'm<br>
just trying to get started - database server available on localhost and<br>
the ability to create databases and run SQL.<br>
<br>
All of the tutorials seem to be subtly different, and Debian is<br>
different still, and the whole process has been quite frustrating.<br>
Anyone have some pointers? Thanks.<br>
