The default db is your username, so they can just run "createdb" with no arguments. That will create a db as their unix username. For instance if you create a user named "smarlowee" adn that's their unix username then they can just run createdb and it will create a db named smarlowe for them. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
