Hello,

Thanks for your quick answers. The extra space is indeed a copy-and-paste issue. Here it is the select that you suggested:

postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
   ?column?
-------------
  "template1"
  "template0"
  "t1"
  "skynet"


Best Regards,

No, i get this:

$ psql skynet
psql: FATAL:  database "skynet" does not exist

I can create a database with the same name:

postgres=# create database skynet;
CREATE DATABASE

postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
   ?column?
-------------
  "template1"
  "template0"
  "postgres"
  "t1"
  "skynet"
  "skynet"

And drop the newly created database:

postgres=# drop database skynet;
DROP DATABASE
postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
   ?column?
-------------
  "template1"
  "template0"
  "postgres"
  "t1"
  "pgpool"
  "skynet"

Strange, isn't it?



Actually what is strange is that your previous listing :
postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
   ?column?
 -------------
  "template1"
  "template0"
  "t1"
  "skynet"

is not the same as the one above:

postgres=# select '"' || datname || '"' from pg_database;
  ?column?
-------------
 "template1"
 "template0"
 "postgres"
 "t1"
 "pgpool"
 "skynet"

In particular the presence of postgres,t1 and pgpool.

Are you sure which cluster you are pointing at and whether the psql version matches the server version?
