Sorry i have put the question wrongly. I wanted to ask if we can create a schema during createdb time so that i have to hide the following from the user. psql -c 'create schema foo' mytemplate psql -c 'create table foo.bar ...' mytemplate Whenever a user runs createdb command, the above schema and table should be created automatically. Thanks, Sharat.

You have misunderstood the purpose of initdb, which is to prepare a location for running a postmaster against. After initdb has run there are no user databases yet created (unless you count the postgres database). So you would need to do something like this: initdb ... pg_ctl start ... createdb mytemplate psql -c 'create schema foo' mytemplate psql -c 'create table foo.bar ...' mytemplate After that you can do this: createdb --template mytemplate newdb and the newdb will have your schema and table.
