Following up on Daniel's helpful reply
Q1 - In Linux we are moving away from putting version numbers (i.e. 9.4 here) in PGDATA and the whitespace makes things
morecomplicated than need be so any further suggestions/thoughts will be useful.
Q2 - yes I did this
Q3
C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin>pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.4\data" status
pg_ctl: no server running
C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin>
Which I a bit confused about!
