Docs don't say what the default database user ID & password are. #27940
Comments
The connection string shown includes the username and password in it. Or are you referring to a different username/password here? |
Thanks for the follow-up. I don't think it's safe to assume that the reader will know that this string contains the username and password (I didn't.). It's specially obscure in this case because it's just "postgres" repeated over and over throughout the string, instead of something like "admin" or "root" appearing to give the reader some clue. Additionally, some (most?) DB-admin applications present a connection dialog that asks for a username and password. For example, I'm using Beekeeper Studio; its connection dialog takes a username and password as I've seen many others do. |
Personally I think this is an advanced feature and anyone doing this would/should know about postgres connection strings and what they contain. In reference to your screenshot here, beekeeper studios and most if not all DB admin tools have an |
Agree with @silentworks here, I think this is OK to close as the information is there. If others experience this, please comment (or react with emojis) and we can look to include this. |
Thanks for the replies, but I strongly disagree. I have used several major databases over the years, but never Postgres. I've programmed for MySQL (& MariaDB), SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle PL-SQL. It is completely reasonable to expect that someone's first exposure to Postgres will be motivated by his desire to use Supabase. I don't understand the resistance to simply putting (using the default username/password of postgres/postgres) in the doc. It's 58 characters. |

Describe the problem
I followed all the directions in "Local development," but could not access the database because they don't say what the default user ID and password are.
Is the documentation missing?
Yes
Describe the improvement
Tell the user what the default user ID and password are. This belongs in the section entitled, "Access your project's services."
Currently that section says:
The next statement should be, "Using the default username and password: something/something."
