Hi Folks, I thought I understood how this worked, but now it's baffling me. I want to drop a database named coral from my test server and load a fresh dump of it from my production server. This has worked when I've done it before, but now it's giving me fits. Here's an example: coral=# \c postgres You are now connected to database "postgres". postgres=# drop database coral; DROP DATABASE postgres=# create database coral; CREATE DATABASE postgres=# \c coral You are now connected to database "coral". coral=# \dt *.* List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner --------------------+--------------------------------+-------+---------- accmgr | acct_rate | table | accmgr accmgr | acct_rate_working | table | accmgr accmgr | acct_sum | table | accmgr accmgr | acct_sum_raw | table | accmgr accmgr | acct_sum_whatif | table | accmgr accmgr | acct_sum_working | table | accmgr accmgr | acct_temp | table | accmgr accmgr | eq_rate | table | accmgr accmgr | eq_rate_working | table | accmgr accmgr | inventory_rate | table | accmgr accmgr | inventory_rate_working | table | accmgr accmgr | inventory_surcharge | table | accmgr ... (115 rows) And likewise, select will pull up data from what I thought was a brand new, empty database. The coral server was stopped before I did this so there should have been no active connections at the time. This is with: PostgreSQL 8.1.18 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46) -Mitch -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
