Upon every login to my computer, I notice in Activity Monitor I have several instances of a process called “postgres” running, under the user “postgres”.
What is this, and why does it launch every time I log in?
From what I gathered, it is an SQL server that is built into Unix systems. But that is as far as I got.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Edit: AHA! It appeared after I installed Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve. When it installs the CUDA package, it also installs the PostgreSQL server. Interesting.
