Re: Postgresql for Dummies?

OK, I'll check that book out.

I tried running pgAdminIII, but when I tried to connect to my psql
server I got the error:
"SSL error: wrong version number"

I'll try to figure this out, but one thing it led me to was realizing
that I don't know what verision of psql I'm actually running, and I
don't know how to find out (I noticed that pgAdminIII is for postgreSQL
7.3 and 7.4). Is there a 'version' command within psql?

Thanks,
