Will fix (and add some comments). I wonder though if this code isn't a little broken. It should skip the CREATE DATABASE certainly, but what about the ACL and dumpDatabaseConfig parts? I suspect those got added in at a handy place without enough thought taken as to whether they should be excluded for template1. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
