Hi folks,

Please excuse the question if I'm missing something stupid, but I seem to be stuck. I've created a postgres database, via an Elixir project setup, and it's showing up via psql's \l command, but I'm seeing "database does not exist" messages.

Transcript of a session showing this follows below.

Anything I should be looking at, here? What am I missing?

In addition to what has already been asked, I am assuming from the system prompts this is happening on a Raspberry Pi, correct?

If so what is being used for storage and have there been any issues with said storage, eg someone pulling a SD card out at the wrong time?



Many thanks in advance,
Michael
