It has taken me a while to figure out that there are , in bin,
programs such as createdb.exe which look for parameters on command
line such as
-U neil bpsimple
So, I had to figure out how to dropdb.exe -U postgres bpsimple
And then recreate it as createdb.exe -U neil bpsimple
It is confusing for me to keep straight which things are .exe in
bin, and which are command lines in psql.
I think the docs make it pretty obvious which is which, but as a rule
of thumb, people tend to capitalize SQL commands (ie: CREATE
DATABASE), but not the command-line commands.
When in doubt, there's an entire section of the docs that is a
reference to all commands.
