I am very new to pgAdmin. I added a postgres instance running on Amazon redshift. After entering all the details, I get the error
permission denied to set parameter"client_min_messages" to "notice"
both Redshift or RDS postgres give us very limited permission. i dont think you able to change client_min_messages

I'm trying to follow this article to enable the pg_cron extension on my postgres RDS instance on AWS:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/PostgreSQL_pg_cron.html
it says to run on the rds_superuser
CREATE EXTENSION pg_cron;
However, I'm logged in under a different user, I don't currently have access to the rds_superuser account. The message I get is:
SQL Error [42501]: ERROR: permission denied to create extension "pg_cron"
Hint: Must be superuser to create this extension.
Can anyone please tell me a work-around for this without having to contact a DBA? Can I grant superuser or create a new user with superuser to get around this?
it looks like the current user I have access to only shows on the pg_tables access to:
rolinherit - X
rolcanlogin - X
Ok I found out that if you go to your RDS database instance on AWS, you can "Modify" the RDS instance, and change the master password for the sysadmin user. I was then able sign in with this user and do what I needed to do.
When I try to take PostgresDump (AWS RDS) the following error I am getting:
ERROR: permission denied for relation dms_stats_detailed
pg_dump: error: query was: LOCK TABLE table_name IN ACCESS SHARE MODE
I am having admin permission though (with Master User).
You need to run pg_dump with a database user (the -U option) that has permission to read the tables you are dumping.
I am trying to run SET session_replication_role = 'replica'; in a GCP Cloud SQL Postgres 9.6 instance, however I'm encountering this error ERROR: permission denied to set parameter "session_replication_role" even if the postgres user is a cloudsql admin user. Do I have to spin up my own self managed instance to solve the problem or is there a way around it?
Unfortunately, it is not connected with the service is in Beta or not, you can't set session_replication_role in GCP Cloud SQL.
You need to have superuser privileges to do that operation, but GCP Cloud only allows to cloudsqlsuperuser privileges. It's features as follows:
When you create a new Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance, the default postgres user is already created for you, though you must set its password.
The postgres user is part of the cloudsqlsuperuser role, and has the following attributes (privileges): CREATEROLE, CREATEDB, and LOGIN. It does not have the SUPERUSER or REPLICATION attributes.
You can find much more information in this blog post.
From what I was looking at, since the service is currently in Beta, there are still some features that are not available, such as that. Therefore we would need to wait a bit more for Google to realease the final version of their product.
We also encountered same issue . This is because postgres user does not have Replication permission.
To resolve this issue:
a) Login with postgres user
b) Since postgres user has Create role permission. Now create a new user with below command:
CREATE USER <YOUR_USER> WITH PASSWORD '<YOUR_PASSWORD>' CREATEDB CREATEROLE REPLICATION IN GROUP cloudsqlsuperuser;
replace <YOUR_USER> with your user name and <YOUR_PASSWORD> with password.
c) Login with newly created user and run
SET session_replication_role = 'replica';
if you see response SET then you are good to go
For my application, I sometimes need to set session authorization to execute certain commands under a given user's permissions.
We're using an RDS behind the application, and our DB superuser on RDS keeps getting permission denied to set session authorization.
Is there a way to enable this on an RDS? Or is it just not a supported operation?
Thanks in advance!
alas, limitations of rds_superuser are not documented
The rds_superuser role is a pre-defined Amazon RDS role similar to the
PostgreSQL superuser role (customarily named postgres in local
instances), but with some restrictions. As with the PostgreSQL
superuser role, the rds_superuser role has the most privileges on your
DB instance
So if you get permission denied with rds_superuser, you probably just can't do it... (as some more better known limitations, like ownership override, fs related functions, limited extensions list and so on)
I am using windows 8.
My Postgres was Correct.
I just took the data directory from C:/postgresql/8.3/
Now database was connected through command prompt.
When I was trying to connect using pgadmin, it's saying
FATEL: error
An error has occured:
Error connecting to sthe server: FATAL: role "postgres" is not permitted to log in
I changed the required things in pg_hba.conf (trust) and postgresql.conf (connection *) (port 5433)
But, still I was unable to connect the database.
How to give the permissions to postgres role.
when am trying to give the permissions through cmd also it's giving same error.
I was tried in so many ways
but, still I didn't get the database.
It looks like you might have accidentally revoked the LOGIN and SUPERUSER rights from the postgres user. Perhaps you created a superuser with a different name instead? Log in as that user if you did.
If not, and you can't get access as user postgres, you will need to start the database engine up in single-user mode and manually GRANT the SUPERUSER right to postgres again. This is much the same process as is required when recovering from a dropped (deleted) superuser account.

Postgres reset password in PostgreSQL server 8.4
BTW, 8.3 is a very old and unsupported version. Plan your upgrade promptly.
If there's no data in PostgreSQL that you care about, the easiest thing to do will be:
Uninstall PostgreSQL 8.3;
Delete C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3 (permanently and unrecoverably destroying all data in your PostgreSQL databases); and
Install a current PostgreSQL version
