Re: Scripting a new db server setup

Thanks Doug! I got some weird errors though when trying to run a command to create db, create user, create elements from the pgAdmin sql editor. I was trying to test and in a nutshell it not allow me to create the db in the same script as everything else, because I seperated the parts and it worked fine.

Thanks Karsten, but I was unsure of what I was looking at.

Absolutely--write SQL scripts that do the work and feed them to 'psql'
in a shell script.
