I think you have misdiagnosed the problem. Maybe your psql is trying to connect to another server, not the one on which you just created the database. It certainly works for me: alvherre=# create database "you think that's a long database name, huh?"; CREATE DATABASE alvherre=# \q $ psql -d "you think that's a long database name, huh?" psql (9.2.4) Digite «help» para obtener ayuda. you think that's a long database name, huh?=# select current_database(); -[ RECORD 1 ]----+-------------------------------------------- current_database | you think that's a long database name, huh? You can use up to 63 bytes in a database name (or any other identifier, for that matter). -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
