Hi list, I'm using the latest postgreSQL with the lastest postgis. When executing every command I want to use, I get the following error message: postgis=# createdb; ERROR: syntax error at or near "createdb" LINE 1: createdb; ^ I can use psql to reach my database, but after that I'm finished. Can't use any command. I thought this was a Vista (PATH) issue so I turned to Windows XP, however, I encounter the exact same issue. What am I doing wrong ??
createdb is an OS-level command, it is not a psql command! The equivalent SQL command is "CREATE DATABASE" Thomas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
