I was trying to create a new db inside of the pg shell. I found that I needed to do it at the OS command prompt. This was totally unclear in the manual. Now I have found that the copy cammand is to be done in the shell. Now if I could just find out if it is working. I can't seem to look into the db. Slow, but progressing. I would like any help/suggestions.
