Yeah, I saw that... It basically says to give up and install your own PostgreSQL. Surely Apple isn't so retarded as to deliver a crippled PostgreSQL installation, forcing you to install your own! I've googled this till my fingertips bled but haven't found how to enable what's been delivered with the system. Surely there's a way!
