My pgAdmin
suddenly shows two connections to the very same server (localhost).
I can't remember what particular actions I did the last time before opening the software today.
Both servers contain the same databases and login roles.
Q:
Windows Services shows only one PostgreSQL Server service running:
pgAdmin III version is: 1.22.2 (May 9 2017,rev:REL-1_22_1)
PostgreSQL version is: 9.5.7
OS version is: Windows 10 Pro 1803 build 17134.48
Don't know what additional info I should provide, so please feel free to ask.
pgAdmin is just a client
to view your postgresql server
details. You can add as many servers as you want in pgAdmin (because they are not server instances it is just UI interface to access data easily, they call it server because you are connecting to server through it) but ultimately they would be connected to only one server.
Why does this happen?
It might have happened that you have created a duplicate connection to it as you can't remember what particular actions you did the last time before opening the software today.
Is it safe to just delete / drop either one?
Feel free to delete it from pgAdmin
as it will just be that interface is
deleted, your data is perfectly safe.
Hope this helps !
