Re: PGDATA on Windows

Q3- I get the same message on standard dos window. You will find the
expected answer by opening a command prompt with administrator privileges
(Run as administrator - start menu, right click on the dos window icon)

Following up on Daniel's helpful reply

Q1 - In Linux we are moving away from putting version numbers (i.e. 9.4
here) in PGDATA and the whitespace makes things more complicated than need
be so any further suggestions/thoughts will be useful.

Q2 - yes I did this

Q3
C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin>pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files
(x86)\PostgreSQL\9.4\data" status
pg_ctl: no server running

C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin>

Which I a bit confused about!
