Hi Tom, There are no error messages repored. Neiter in the logfile of the server, nor on The tty , which I am issuing the commands from. I am not switching the OS user (all commands are entered interactively, no cron jobs, shell scripts etc).

So why not? Try reading the error messages that are (probably) reported when you run the script. Maybe you're trying to run the script as a user that hasn't got CREATEDB privilege? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
