Had a big adventure getting postgreSQL working on my laptop today!

Just for notes, here is how I stopped the server:

PS C:\Users\Chris\Documents\test> & 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\bin\pg_ctl.exe' -D "C:\Users\Chris\Documents\postgr
esql" -l logfile stop
waiting for server to shut down.... done
server stopped
