Database Instance Creation via Java/JDBC

Greetings.

I posted a question to this list a couple of days ago, but maybe it got lost
;)

Anyway, what I am trying to find out is whether it is possible to remotely
interact with a POSTGRSQL database server over JDBC from within Java code to
perform the following operations:

1. Create and initialise a new database instance entirely (files, caching,
etc)
2. Retrieve a list of databases as well as their current states
3. Delete (drop) a specified database instance entirely
4. Change the state of a specified database instance (from offline to
running etc)
5. Any additional information retrieval possbile would also be great.

If anyone has ANY information (even negative) I would really appreciate it!

Thank you in advance,
