Re: Default MacOS Username Database

Hello Joe,

I'm certainly not an authority on the app, but, have used it. I believe it
is just providing the user name database as a developer quick start (place
to create ddl outside of system database).

If I remember correctly, it can safely be removed and/or new databases can
be created but you may have to adjust configuration for the quick launch
shortcuts for psql or similar.

Best regards,

Dan Smith
