- giancarlostoro 7y agoI was unable to figure out how to setup accounts, and I am not used to PostgreSQL, I couldnt figure out my root password, which I swear was just "developer" but that didn't seem to work. I'm used to other database engines, despite my love of the idea of using PGSQL.
- RexM 7y agoAh ok. Maybe it's because my install was basic without additional accounts. I just have my phoenix apps setup to use the default postgres/postgres login.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoFor some reason I remember having this PGSQL issue a couple of times on Windows, so I may either go with MySQL or what others suggested with WSL / Vagrant. Also I always forget database passwords after a week if it's not saved somewhere.
- sosborn 7y agoThat’s not a windows issue, it’s an unfamiliar software issue. Take a weekend to learn how Postgres handles accounts. It takes a little getting used to but it is very much worth it.
