Can some1 show how to install postgressql on a mac plz?

or if you know a location with a video on how that would be great.

I've been looking for you, to no avail, sorry. But I wouldn't think it is much different than installing on linux, maybe you should look at that, then modify to do it on a Mac

Very nice tutorial. I enjoyed it. I am hoping you could help me with making automatic daily backup of the postgres database. I found this command "pg_dump". I can put it in a batch file and then put the batch file in windows scheduler. The problem is that the command asks for administrator's password. In the installation, there is no mention of administrator account. Please help. My people are entering so much data everyday and it is very annoying to take backup manually every day.

Hi, I am glad you like the video.

Concerning the administrator password, is it asking for the DB admin password or Windows Admin password?

If it is the postgres one, then by default there is no password, or in some circumstances, the password is "postgres". Concerning the Windows password, I am afraid, I can't help you there, your system's administrator should be able to help.

Thank you
