Re: Where is 'createdb'?

Here is what i did on a Ubuntu linux server. I had installed postgres using apt-get install postgres.
pkumar(at)ulinux1:~$ sudo su - postgres[sudo] password for pkumar: postgres(at)ulinux3:~$ createdb authDBpostgres(at)ulinux3:~$ createuser -P -l authuser

You have to sudo into postgres or fix your classpath

This is probably a question for the authors of a book I have been reading but it may be faster to get an answer here. I was trying to follow along in a book ‘Seven Databases in Seven Weeks’ and chapter 2 deals with PostgreSQL. One of the first things it does is issue a command ‘createdb book’. The text before this command says, “Once you have Postgres installed, create a schema called book using the following command: $ createdb book’ But when I tried to issue this command (at a Linux command prompt) I get ‘createdb command not found’. Are the authors out of date? What is the current command? Kevin
