I just installed PostgreSQL-8.4 on Ubuntu. How do I start it / its GUI, connect to a database etc? I know SQL, but can’t find PostgreSQL‘s icon in my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop (hence, am not sure how to start it).

    Postgresql has no built in gui.

    to check if it is running run the following from a terminal

    ps aux | grep postgres
    

    You can use psql to access from the command line.

    to install psql

    aptitude install postgresql-client
    

    then to run

    psql -h dbhost -U username dbname
    

    If you want a gui intall package pgadmin

    aptitude install pgadmin3
