Re: Different views of remote server

Hi Scott

According to NSAuditor(www.nsauditor.com) there is only one server with port
5432.

When I enter information into the remote database it shows up on the same
database that has this problem.

How do I determine my 'connection credentials'?

You're likely connecting to a different database than you think you
are. What do your connection credentials look like in each case?
