How do I log into PostgreSQL on Ubuntu?
There are two ways to login PostgreSQL:
- By running the "psql" command as a UNIX user which is also configured as PostgreSQL user using so-called IDENT/PEER authentication, e.g., " sudo -u postgres psql ".
- Via TCP/IP connection using PostgreSQL's own managed username/password (using so-called MD5 authentication).
