Re: Create Database using JDBC

Hi all,

I'm not too knowledgeable about this matter, but wouldn't it work to
connect to another data base, not template1 ?
And make a policy not to connect to template1.
I guess it doesn't matter which data base are you connected to (except
that it must exist) when you create a new one. So just create a
"standard" data base which always exist, and connect to that one.

Cheers,
Csaba.
