    Hey all.

    After years of using MySQL, I've decided to learn PostgreSQL and
    I'm having a little trouble.

    I've installed the all the postgresql rpms on my RHL 9 machine and
    I've run the command "service postgresql start". My question is:

    What do I do now?

    The postgresql doc say that you have to run the initdb command but
    it looks like this was done when I started the service the first time.
    How do I log in a database?
    What is the password to su to postgres?
    Do the createdb and createuser programs do anything other than output
    error messages?

    Somebody, help!!

    Emmanuel
