Ian, Thanks that is the really only doc that comes up when I search for this. It discusses how to call a template to create a new db, but it does not list the differences between them. I am going to try to just find a definition of both.

Specifically, I am looking for a discussion on the presence of admin tasks in template 1 and lack of admin tasks ( such as vacuum) in template 0. I am not able to find doc on this, maybe I am remembering something that is no longer the case.
