Fantastic video for absolute beginners like me, you have a great teaching style, and are probably helping many people worlwide due to these tutorials!

I'm attending a seminar about postgres and since i know nothing about it, I find your videos very useful for beginners. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I intend to watch them all!

Thanks for the video. Did anyone notice he used Bing inside of Google Chrome on a Mac?

anymore videos from such a well named channel as "TheBinaries"? I liked the casual dialogue throughout the video, actually helped me get some grasp on why anyone would use a noSQL RDMS (I'm clearly just attempting to get my finger somewhere near the pulse).

Thank you

Thanks for the video. I would suggest adding 'on Windows' to the end of the title, since postgresql is popular on linux, and before viewing the video I though it would be for postgresql installation on linux.

Thanks for the vedio. Can you tell me what i have to do. I get error. Fail to load SQL modules into the database cluster.

I use a statistical tracking software that allows user to create their
own custom statisics as we see fit but there are some type of statistics
that its columns arent cacheable so their performances are really bad
so i would like to know is there´s a way to add these columns to the
cache to improve their performance? Thanks¡!¡

@TheBinaries
Hi there, Mine is showing " problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly. The database cluster initialization failed " . I wonder why ? Can you explain? Thank you.

I get the error when I try to connect. How do I solve it ?

Server doesn't listen
The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
If you encounter this message, please check if the server you're trying to contact is actually running PostgreSQL on the given port. Test if you have network connectivity from your client to the server host using ping or equivalent tools. Is your network / VPN / SSH tunnel / firewall configured correctly?
For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on all available IP addresses on the server machine initially. In order to access the server over the network, you need to enable listening on the address first.
For PostgreSQL servers starting with version 8.0, this is controlled using the "listen_addresses" parameter in the postgresql.conf file. Here, you can enter a list of IP addresses the server should listen on, or simply use '*' to listen on all available IP addresses. For earlier servers (Version 7.3 or 7.4), you'll need to set the "tcpip_socket" parameter to 'true'.
You can use the postgresql.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to edit the postgresql.conf configuration file. After changing this file, you need to restart the server process to make the setting effective.
If you double-checked your configuration but still get this error message, it's still unlikely that you encounter a fatal PostgreSQL misbehaviour. You probably have some low level network connectivity problems (e.g. firewall configuration). Please check this thoroughly before reporting a bug to the PostgreSQL community.

Hello,

Could you please explain how would I write a connection string to a POSTGRES DB?
For example, if I would lke to run a query through a VBS FILE on Windows, how would I write the connection string??

Thanks.
